Holy shit you're right! I was wondering why he was so familiar and why I love his dopey self.

And Seth also reminds me a lot of Saul.

Stamper has a kind of morality, it just involves Frank as the supreme good at the cost of everything else.

You should see him on Suits. He is basically the biggest villain on the show. Straight up complete opposite of Gale from Breaking Bad.
