Halo's James Ackerson is not a typical, clear-cut villain, as seen in Paramount Plus' take on the Halo universe, which recently aired its Season 2 finale episode. It's a role that couldn't be more suited to actor Joseph Morgan, who plays the new Director of the Spartan program following Halsey's downfall. Morgan is known for his complex villains or anti-heroes, such as the popular Klaus Mikaelson in The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. Similarly, Morgan's Ackerson has numerous shades and dimensions as seen throughout the show.
