He can be sort of like the Equalizer

Now that's a blast from the past, if you're referring to the 1980s series with Edward Woodward, Spader would make an excellent Robert McCall.

Back in the day I loved The Equalizer! Edward Woodward was wonderful in that role. Just like Spader he was a tremendous actor. (Side note...Woodward passed away the same day Spader made his Broadway debut. I was bummed out that Woodward had passed, and ecstatic that I was seeing James Spader in a play all on the same day.) And yes, Spader could create a great Equalizer type of character, out of Red Reddington. I'm in!!!

I loved the Equalizer. I thought it was great and I love Edward Woodward. I never did figure out why a CIA spy had a British accent, though. That never made any sense to me. Of course, in The Hunt for Red October a Russian captain had a Scottish accent. LOL. Willing suspension of disbelief.

Oh my god, I can totally see him in that role.

And Spader looks great in that trench coat and Hat already on BL, but this would be so cool.
