There have been many interesting criminals that have appeared on television like the evolving Walter White (Bryan Cranston) from Breaking Bad, the complicated Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) from The Sopranos, and the fascinating Omar Little (Michael Kenneth Williams) from The Wire. But none of them are quite as smooth as The Blacklist‘s Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader).

2. He always finds a way to hold all of the cards.
3. He is cocky, but not in a way that’ll make you hate him.
