== Live Action TV ==
* In ''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]'', {{spoiler|Lorien}} plays this role for {{spoiler|Sheridan, while he's dead}}, forcing him to confront the fact that his life, noble as it might be, is being wasted by living by the expectations of others.
** Another example occurs earlier in the series, when Delenn and Sheridan are being tested by the Inquisitor.
** G'Kar plays this role for Londo in "The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari".
** And of course Morden ends up playing this role for Delenn and Vir. He was trying to be [[The Corrupter]], but Delenn blew him off, and Vir, well, he gave Morden an answer to his offer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0n2vurSBIQ that Morden didn't like]. <ref>And [[Brick Joke|two seasons later]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Vir got what he asked for, one of the few actually to do so with Morden.]]</ref>
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' (revamp series): Head Six sometimes encourages Baltar toward goodness and sometimes tempts him toward evil, but she usually helps him to come to some important revelation about himself.
** Leoben plays this role for Starbuck several times during the series, most dramatically when she is assigned to interrogate him in "Flesh and Bone".
* In Season 5 of ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]'', {{spoiler|Lucifer}} has had talks like this with both {{spoiler|Sam and Castiel}}, but they both resist his seductive nature.
Line 61:
* ''[[Lost]]'': In his flashbacks, {{spoiler|Richard Alpert}} is tempted by {{spoiler|the Man in Black/Smoke Monster}}, who tells him he must kill "the devil," {{spoiler|Jacob}}, if he wants to see his dead wife again. He ultimately refuses and sides with {{spoiler|Jacob}}.
* In ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'', Gene Hunt doesn't so much as have a chat with Satan as {{spoiler|get ''audited'' by Satan, in the form of D&C officer Jim Keats. Apparently, Gene runs this corner of Purgatory (for God, we think), and Keats and his side are kind of pissed that Gene keeps changing the rules. Keats gets in a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|Reason You Suck Speech]] against Gene in his opening episode, and they continue to have face-offs whenever Keats wants to remind Gene that Gene isn't fooling him}}.
* In a show as old as [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]], this has definitely happened a few times. In the Classic Series 'Trial of a Time Lord', the Doctor faces his evil future self, and has to resist the temptation of the power the Valeyard has. More recently, the series five episode "Amy's Choice" has {{spoiler|the Doctor and his companions trapped in two dream worlds by a manifestation of his darker impulses.}}
