also that best part of Ron Swanson is that Nick Offerman is almost the exact opposite as him politicallyit helps him more perfectly portray the stereotypical libertarian

I thought your performance at The Webbys earlier this year was hilarious. A few months later, are you feeling any differently about the election, or about Trump and Hillary, now that a lot has changed since then?I feel like it's fascinating and terrifying and kind of depressing that the American public is feeling this. You know, we have nobody to blame but ourselves for this election, and I think it's just fascinating. I mean, I'm not a great political brain, but I definitely have a pretty simple take on politics that involves common decency. When it gets into trade policy and foreign policy, I quickly end up in the weeds where I find it hard to follow. It's usually easy for me to vote because one party usually offends me by being indecent. And that usually has to do with taking away the rights of some group. That's where my gut begins with politics—it has to do with simple matters and neighborliness. And so seeing what's going on is just astonishing. I'm always amazed in elections when the only flaws that can be pointed out about a candidate are that they have been a politician. You know—"Well they said this in '93, and then they said this other thing in 2005." Yes, that's called politics. The world is very complicated and so are human beings, so I'm not surprised. But then, on the other hand, [there's a] candidate that's only, in my way of thinking, held such an unsavory job as casino owner. Not only that, but a failed casino—a spectacularly failed one. On one hand, I understand the dissatisfaction that has led to his selection. But, on the other hand, I have to say, if you're going to make a statement with your dissatisfaction, you really should've found a better representative of your desires. But I'm just going to try and continue to promote good manners wherever I can.-Esquire interview with Nick Offerman

He has no charisma, and is literally impossible to like in every scene he's in. You never sympathize with him or understand his delusional, probably made-up worldview. He's pretty much the embodiment of evil, but was intentionally written that way, obviously (as he's a villain). All I'm saying is that he's probably the most unlikable character in film/TV history
you already know tbh
i've seen movies with some extremely morally repugnant characters in them, but i still like them, because their charisma is not based in the character's personality or actions, but with the actor's own ability to play the role so well
also this discussion is distracting from the subjectme

For the purpose of...what? Indulging in the "behind the scenes" unnecessary? If an actor's motivations or life are being thought of while you're watching something, the entire point of the medium has failed.
