He portrays a character named Elliot Richards who is lonely and socially retarded and is in love with his colleague, Allison who doesn't even know he is alive. Furthermore they both come from different worlds. Out of sheer desperation, he made a deal with the devil herself played by the hot-huchi-mama Elizabeth Hurley. She would grant him 7 wishes with the exchange of his soul.
The reason i choose his character as my favourite is because, he realizes even however he wishes that Allison would fall for him, there would always be something terribly wrong that comes out of his wish. He realize he is not being himself and trying to chase something unreachable. In the end, he used his last wish which was the most selfless act : he just wished that Allison was happy. He knew love cannot be forced. In return, due to his selfless act the deal was off and he got to keep his soul. Because he rejected evil, he met a new neighbour whose features were exactly like Allison's only her personality suits Elliots' better. The story ended there but viewers can figure out what would happen in the end.
The moral of his character was the fact he had a battle between good and evil. He choose the right path and therefore he eventually received something good in return. With this i also believe. When we do good, God will reward us accordingly and when we do bad, we will suffer the consequences. Sometimes God will give us in cash!
