General Russell Woodman is the secondary antagonist in the 2001 sci-fi/comedy film Evolution. He is portrayed by Ted Levine, who also played Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs and voiced Sinestro in the DCAU. Prior to the events of the film, Woodman worked with Dr. Ira Kane, the film's protagonist, at the Pentagon (though he asserts that Ira used to work for him) until Ira tested an anthrax vaccine on hundreds of soldiers with devastating results and was dismissed from the US Army.
