Think about it, I get Stockholm Syndrome just watching the film. He is a pretty slick character. 
 
Pretending to be Billy Clay is an awesome section.

He was pretty good. His character ended on a weird note though, with the sexual undertones with Holly - how her blouse is half open, showing as much cleavage as possible. I thought it just wasn't necessary considering how slick and composed he was throughout the entire film. The scene with Takagi is extraordinary, however. I don't think anyone would pick Gruber over McClane, though.
