What if James Spader has been playing the same character for over 40 years?

In this documentary, we break down the seven performances that defined James Spader's legendary career and reveal why his characters feel so strangely familiar. Is it coincidence, or has Spader perfected one of the greatest screen personas in Hollywood history?
