re: Potential character descriptions and actors/actresses for True Detective?

quote:

---

Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn): The central antagonist. Not a murderer, per se, but a shady businessman and former thug who is trying to use his influence with local politicians to put a railway in place between Northern and Southern California and reap the financial benefits. The California setting and the idea of a businessman using public works for corrupt financial gain calls to mind John Huston’s great villainous character in Chinatown. The idea of Vaughn using his patented charm offensive for nefarious purposes is downright delicious.

This seems very outside the box but it could go horribly wrong?

I almost think they shouldn't have a second season for fear it will be a serious disappointment.
