Ulrich Thomsen's Performance in "THE THING"

I think that Ulrich Thomsen did a Pretty Darn Good Job playing the Main 'Human' Villain (in a small way until towards the end when he is attacked and turned into 1 of the monsters) in the 2011 "THE THING" Movie.

I think that his character in the 2011 Movie was actually supposed to be just like that 1 Obsessed Scientist from the 1951 Original "THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" Movie.

What does everybody else here think ?
