 Bradford Dillman (qv) was originally unhappy with characters 2D  nature, and asked writer John Sayles (qv) why his character was so  thin. Sayles responded that Roger Corman (qv) regularly did not  use good actors in his film, so he deliberately didnt elaborate on  characters. But since Dillman was a "real" actor, he was more than  happy to enhance his characters depth.
