He appears to have mastered the naturalistic intonations and body language called for by Glengarry. Although, at first glimpse, Roulleau's character seems to be in danger of becoming rehearsed, soon he expertly shapes and surfaces the dark, manipulative undercurrent of Moss's persona, as well as his jealousy and frustration.
