Robert California (The Office)
Stepping into the shoes of Robert California, Spader made for a riot of a performance that saw him play this intimidating figure who slowly lost it all through the course of his appearances.

Graham Dalton (Sex, Lies and Videotape)
Playing an almost disturbing drifter with quite the awful tendencies, Spader packs in a powerhouse of a performance in this Steven Soderbergh directorial.

E Edward Grey (Secretary)
Spader's turn as E Edward Grey in Secretary is one of his bests. An impeccable chemistry with Maggie Gyllenhaal and a complete command of his character, Spader is great here.

Raymond Reddington (The Blacklist)
A crime-drama that lets Spader flex all of his acting skills, The Blacklist is a great piece of series where the actor is at his best playing an ex US-Naval Intelligence officer turned fugitive.
