Lemke needs two hours a night to get into his costume and makeup, but it took far longer to develop the necessary psyche to play a villain described on the KÀ website as “ambitious, authoritarian and very devious.” “I had to get into the logic of someone evil, so I studied and read about the most evil dictators in history,” Lemke says.
