It may not have been a large role, but was not Leiv Schreiber effective as Ross “The Boss” Rhea” in his role as a hockey goon? We think so, and we thought he nailed the rile as a veteran goon to the ‘t’ thus leading to an effective contest against the hero at the end. He was a villain who was not exactly evil, but was motivated to win based on his athletic accomplishments. That in itself makes him a solid character for our purposes.
