I don't think Ben Cross (though he was OK in the role) ever approached Frid's original interpretation. There was something about Frid in that role that even Johnny Depp could not capture. I never saw the WB pilot but have read it was a bomb. There was a certain vibe to DS that worked that would be magic if it could be recaptured.
