12	He can qualify as either the modern day Creator/RoddyMcDowall or Creator/DavidWarner due to Byrne's CelebrityResemblance to the two actors from the previous generation of actors before him and the similar roles they play such as Byrne's hammy role as Satan in ''Film/EndOfDays'' being a reminiscent of the villains played by Warner and [=McDowall=], his Nazi character of Major Kaempffer in ''Film/TheKeep'' being seen as an {{Expy}} of Warner's portrayal of UsefulNotes/ReinhardHeydrich from ''Series/{{Holocaust}}'' and ''Hitler's SS: Portrait in Evil'' and his most recent role as Steve Graham in ''Film/{{Hereditary}}'' being something of a SpiritualAntithesis AgentScully {{Foil}} to Warner's AgentMulder role as Keith Jennings in another supernatural horror/family tragedy film ''Film/TheOmen1976'', not to mention both Byrne and [=McDowall=] being both of Irish descent.
