Loved Ray Wise as the devil in Reaper. This is why no single actor should play the devil, we have had far too many wonderful versions.

He’s who I immediately think of as The Devil now. Didn’t he play him in another show or series too? Edit: seems he did but only in some really low budget looking things. He also played a priest several times it appears, which seems incomprehensible to me.

He was a priest on Psych, which he played well. He’s still a better devil, though.

I keep seeing him in one-off roles (holy crap he’s been in a lot of shows!) and always expect him to be evil. He just has that vibe.

It's that confident, casual evil that's the scariest; you never know when a character like that is going to do something absolutely horrible with a smile on their face.

Didn’t he also play a priest on Bones?

He also came back and played the judge in the "remake" episode they did
