Thank goodness they found Tramell. I can't imagine anyone else in that role and Milchick is a singular TV character. He's just PERFECT and it's like he barely resembles the actor who is so handsome, golden brown, and has a softness to him -- Milchick is darker toned, one dimensional, and hard.

He remains dis-integrated.
