Mr Boreanas is an excellent actor who always, in my experience at least, gives everything he has to the role he plays. With Angel, he had a particularly challenging task, playing a good/bad man trying to live down two centuries of inflicted torture, pain and violence while functioning in a world where that same violence was not only allowed, but necessary. He's no John Wayne or Charlton Heston, but then, I'm not too sure that the Duke, God rest his patriotic soul, could have convincingly played a vampire.
