I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. The best villains have many layers. They’re not the melodramatic one-dimensional Snidely Whiplash character tying a victim to the train tracks. They have feelings. They have mothers. They have love interests. Even if they are doing evil things, they’re doing them for reasons that they believe are good and justified. And they’re much more fun to play with, as, and against if they have motivations for their villainy, even if they’re unreasonable. Give your villains depth. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
