I thought his character in this film was a smug, patronising c*@t!
I wanted Liev Schrieber to punch his fackin lights out and then headbutt Parker Posey when she was siding with Campbell.
Great film.

Ha, true. I think the reason it didn't really bother me was because Noah had been being such a self-deluded prick himself. It almost seemed as though Scott's character was doing it tongue in cheek just to expose the emptiness of Noah's pretentious pseudo-intellectual drivel.
Now, rifling through Posey's character's purse to put his name in her address book with that "Time for a Change" notation? Ha! THAT was definitely douchey!!
I agree leo. Liev was pretty pretentious himself (and had a horrible idea for a book to boot). Scott was just the lecherous version of Liev. The big difference is that, at heart, Liev appears to have his family's best interests at heart, even if he is a little pompous and misguided.

It's been well over a decade since I saw the film, but I kind of liked the character. Mostly because I find arguments against democracy, such as Liev was making, really annoying(and yes, I'm familiar with the whole debate, I'm not just mindlessly repeating civics-class propaganda). I especially liked Scott's line: "I don't know if I would call a return to the Borgias social progress."
Granted, Liev was probably the better person, morally speaking.
