As such he may actually be a distant conceptual ancestor of Kuwabara - there are several Japanese game and anime characters who seem to be inspired by Dafoe's look in the movie.I'll probably change it to something cuter soon enough, because honestly he jump-scares me a little every time I see him! ([USER=177]@Umbran[/USER]'s avatar used to as well, but then I re-watched Angel and as a grown-up, Lindsey is a lot less alarming - also that might just be the same actor - Christian Kane, amazing name! - in Leverage).</blockquote>
