Sloan Speaks

Nice to see Sadler enjoyed his time on DS9. 
And now every time I see him in another role, I still think of him as Sloan. 
I think he's definitely right about Sloan being an Oliver North type. Naturally he defined himself as a patriot and doing what he thought had to be done, although with Sloan I think it's a bit more ambiguous as to whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. At least the show-runners didn't make him a complete bastard the way they did to Dukat.

Someone help me? What was the name of the guy he played in Shawshank Redemption? I know the guy, picturing his face, just can't remember the name of the character ... Hadley was it?
Heywood? Its been a while since I've seen it. I actually remember that film moreso for Bill Bolender (the Albino Klingon in "Blood Oath"). He plays the murderer of Dufresne's wife. Now that guy can play psychos!
I saw Sadler on another show, Roswell, and enjoyed him greatly there. He played a suspicious sheriff who matured into one of the show's better characters -- one of the few adults among a cast of teenagers.
I love how Sadler doesn't see Sloan as the Evil Villian Criminal that so many dismiss him as. I think the Ollie North comparison, while a bit "stretchy" (Ollie, remember, was sure to "tell it all you you--the good, the bad and the ugly...painfull though it may be, for me and others." I find it doubtful that Sloan would be so ready to tell all before the Council....)--is actually pretty apt.
Haha, I think Sloan is just so good at his job that it would never come to that.
