Actors that were great playing the Bad Guy

Jonathan Harris from Lost in Space.

 

Don't forget Brian Cox as the sleazy, conniving Killearn.

 

Jonathan Harris-Season 1 of Lost In Space...

 

dude! I did not see your post! wow...I just posted Jonathan Harris...pretty cool. : )

 

Christopher Walken in 'Nick Of Time'.

 

One where he is 'over the top' but also definitely an evil character is "Cry Of The Banshee".

 

Dr. Phibes is my favorite of his roles. I got to interview him back in my college days for the school paper. It was surreal sitting at a table with him.

 

He was masterful as Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter.

 

Thought of another one.

Brad Dourif. He's excellent every time he plays a bad guy, creepy guy, eccentric guy, or just a crazy doll (LOL.)



Original Dune movie, The Chucky movies, The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers, Alien Resurrection, and many more, including TV roles. Just look at all his roles in his filmography. Many of them, especially early in his career, he was a creepy/crazy bad guy.

 

I think the Xenomorph was unfairly type-cast as a "bad guy". Maybe someone will cast it as the lead in a romantic comedy, and we'll see it's range as an actor.

 

I haven't seen it in some time but i remember Laura Linney, in Mystic River as being absolutely frightening.

 

Sorrel Booke as Boss Hogg.

 

Khan! (Ricardo Montalban)

 

He was great!

He's a nihilist. And he fixes the cable. In another movie.

 

Frank Vincent as Phil Leotardo in The Sopranos.

 

Ronald Reagan

 

You better give him the money or he'll cut off your johnson.

 

Strother Martin in Cool Hand Luke...

 

Michael Caine is also a Bad Azz in Get Carter.

 

Nurse Ratched was up there with Darth Vader and Hannibal Lector in terms of movie villains.

 

Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity...

 

Don't be fatuous, GregM! (;-)

 

You were supposed to ask, "what do you need that for, dude?"
