what kind of charade?

 



















Business attire, dark hair, inexplicably malicious grimace. Ziegler vs. Bill Watson for most ominous "side" character. Ziegler isn't quite a side character.

He "watches" Ziegler's lifestyle from a distance, while not able to really participate. Bill Watson is a true side character only making a few appearances towards the beginning of The Shining. But the grimace still gets me, just like Ziegler's murderous scowl.
