| Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy |
“The Newsroom’s” Will McAvoy is
unaffable, contemptuous of ignorance, prickly, witty, dismissive, guarded, savagely
eloquent, deeply sentimental, uncompromisingly professional, easily hurt by
those he cares for and possessed of a Bruce Wayne-like compulsion to punch
bullies right in the snoot.
In other words, he’s a character
fully realized by Aaron Sorkin and Jeff Daniels.
At first glance, McAvoy is
unlikeable, but finally he’s impossible to dislike — a characteristic well suited
for the show’s romantic comedy elements.
