[edit] Miscellaneous
Critics comment on Bruce payne's performance:
" Bruce Payne gives a charismatic, subdued scary performance. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Bruce Payne is all charm." - John Fallon
"As the Warlock, Bruce Payne, an actor who has magnificently theatrical charisma, and presence is actually better in the part than the perpetually overwrought Julian Sands." - Richard Scheib, writing for the Science Fiction, Horror & Fantasy Film Review Database
"Bruce brought to the film his own brand of evil intensity and the suave charisma that was required for the Warlock," says Freiser. "In the first two movies, Julian was very smooth as the character, but Bruce makes for a scarier villain. You feel he is capable of more evil than Julian." - Eric Freiser, director of Warlock III
