I think the point of ep3 was that with all the stress Annikin was under, 
his reaction was perfectly rational and logical.

A good actor who plays a 'bad guy' in films usually will study quite a 
lot to understand the character's underlying motivations.  Just look at 
interviews with Christopher Lee about playing Sauruman in LOTR for the 
kind of insight that's applied to playing a role like that.

Another good example is William B. Davis in The X-Files.  He saw his 
character (the "Cigarette Smoking Man") as one of the good guys, and had 
good reason to.
