- Playing Against Type: While Richard Attenborough occasionally played villains early in his career (notably in Brighton Rock), by this time he was much better-known for playing upright heroes in films like The Great Escape, let alone his later fame as a kindly grandfather figure in Jurassic Park and Kris Kringle himself in Miracle on 34th Street. In fact, Attenborough was extremely reluctant to play a Serial Killer, but found the script's anti-death penalty message so powerful that he felt compelled to take the role.
