However, I see the problem with Mitchell as being 95% the writer's fault. If he's been given directions on what to say in interviews (to tow the company line), them that is what he will do (and should do if he wants to stay in their good graces and keep his job.) I have no issue with that at all. Even if he did come to the various forums and hear people talk about how much some people dislike Mitchell, I don't know what he could do about it, frankly. Tell the writers to read the complaints and change the writing? There is only so much he can do with the character in context of how he is written. I know there are those who say a good actor can rise above bad writing, but in this case, I really don't think a really really good actor could rise above this writing. He was doomed from the get-go with the ridiculous introduction and the CMOH, IMO.
I guess if I saw Ben in an airport, I wouldn't say anything at all. I think he is in a difficult situation. Now if I saw RCC, I would have a few things to say....
