This sounds like body language study for role research.
Maybe they would be fidgety, jumpy, and nervous. Lots of jerky movements, wandering eyes, crossing arms, crossing legs, shaking foot, touching the face a lot, defensive tone of voice. Kind of like that classic (Sweeny Todd type) murdering barber Monty Python sketch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3IcdxbnIfY
Maybe they would be cold, stoic and callous. This type has a better poker face, is a better liar, would make a better salesman, and is more of the charmer. He’ll wink at you, but get grumpy if you don’t listen. A salesman is actually a good person to study for that, like the over-the-top likeable businessman portrayed by Christian Bale in the zany, surreal American Psycho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwicLgOGJOI
The two would be two basic versions, and the appropriate one would depend on the character, or actor. In both scenarios, they want to cover something up. Yet they are both showing signs that they are hiding something, so they aren’t doing a very good job.
Christopher Walken says he tries not to get too caught up on details, and just latches on to one basic trait, one twitch, one habit, and goes from there. Someone who acts a little bit different than straight-forward, status-quo comes across on camera as menacing.
