Authority.

Tonight's Law and Order SVU was outstanding.
The episode is titled Authority, and stars Robin Williams.

Williams has won an Academy award, 6 Golden Globes, 2 SAGs, and a Grammy.

On tonights SVU, Williams plays Merrit Rook, an engineer who poses as a police officer to get managers at a fast food chain to detain and strip search young female employees, as well as other criminal acts perpetrated by phone.
He serves as his own lawyer and is found not guilty, which leads to publicity and followers from his anti-authority message.
No sheep.

Williams plays the role of Rook so very real, it's creepy.
He's a true psychopath.
He can impersonate people, he's very intelligent, and highly manipulative.
When he takes Detective Olivia Benson, things get even more intense.
Williams is a phenomenal actor.
No matter what type of role he plays, comedic, dramatic, or full on psycho, he plays it with incredible conviction.
This character was so believable, so frightening and pathological, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
This was an incredible episode, Law and Order SVU never disappoints me with it's story lines and guest appearances.
It just keeps getting better and better.
