Hollywood's 10 most eeeeevil(!) actors!

[42_42_42]

I second Ralph Fiennes and Sir Anthony Hopkins both should have been mentioned, also Christian Bale's turn in American Psycho was...psychotic.

They also forgot Gary Oldman's role in The Fifth Element.

Even though he was a heavily comedic bad guy he did do a great job.

Richard Roxburgh could have made the cut, too. Not only was he Count Vladisaus Dracula in Van Helsing, he was "The Duke" in Moulin Rouge. Talk about two completely different bad guys!

Jason Isaacs - great choice. I don't think there was a better choice for his roles in The Patriot and Harry Potter.

Alan Rickman - not much to say here. His "bad guy" style even fit in very well as the Metatron (you do know what an angle is, right?) in Dogma.

Even though he hasn't ben in much, I think Zachary Quinto deserves at least an honorable mention. He was perfect for Sylar and his "emotionless" acting was great for Spock. I can see him in the future as serious and methodical bad guys.

Wow, I'm surprised they picked a list of really good, talented actors. I was expecting to see Denzels and Will Smiths.

Yes! I am glad this is a list based on talent and not money or box office draw.

Eeeeeee! Ian McShane! *glomp*

Alan Rickman is great. But I love me some Ian! <3

[PepperElf]

They also forgot Gary Oldman's role in The Fifth Element.

[PepperElf]

i see gary oldman on the list but they left out his classic role of Stansfield in "Leon the professional". very sick and very evil character



and i'm surprised...
no mention of Ralph Fiennes?

The evil Amon Goeth in Schindler's List, Francis Dolarhyde in Red Dragon, Voldemort

he's very very good at playing evil men

[Eireann]

Definately...Has he ever played a good guy?

Yes, he has. He played good guys in The Deer Hunter and The Dead Zone. He's also marvelously funny; watch some of his clips from Saturday Night Live.

Hmm out of 10 Hollywood bad guys....seven are british

Goes along with Eddie Izzard's theory that British actors have to play bad guys in Hollywood movies because of the American Revolution.

ETA: I realize they were going with actors who've made a career out of playing baddies, but some classic villains were left off the list, especially Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. Or, if you wanna go a bit esoteric, John Goodman in Cohen Bros. movies, especially Barton Fink. *shudder* Oh, and let us not forget the best film baddie in recent history, Javier Barden as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. Creeeeeepy

Christopher Walken should be on it.

[cinema guy]

Christopher Walken should be on it. And they forgot to mention Rickman's superb Sheriff of Nottingham. "I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!"

[AnaKhouri]

Dennis Hopper is an even better villain in "Blue Velvet"...yeah.

Alan Rickman is a great bad guy. He always seems so....gleeful about it.

I never thought of Sean Bean or Max von Sydow as villains! I guess I am out of the loop.

[Cazzi]

Bah, they left out Rutger Hauer.

You beat me to it... I just love his cold eyed psycopathic characters... with the subtle hint of dark humour as is found in some of his movies

[iradney]

Great list.

Love me some Alan Rickman *swoon*

Hands OFF, he's MINE, I saw him FIRST!!!!

[DeltaSierra]

Great list.

Love me some Alan Rickman *swoon*
