Top 10 Actors Who Always Play Villains


who wants to be good when being bad is
so much more fun so whim of a madman I
like that
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors who always play villains open
your eyes and look at me know if you
won’t open them yourself I’ll staple
your eyelids to your forehead for this
list we’ve decided to eliminate actors
whose best-known roles are beloved
heroes we’re looking at you Sean Bean
and Ian McKellen mr. son of a beech
let’s play some cards
number 10 Dennis Hopper he’s a good kid
Rick shut the fuck up he started as an
Easy Rider but we think hoppers angst
and disturbed demeanor are best suited
to villains sure donning a bizarre
haircut to play King Koopa and an
eyepatch to play the deacon may have
been odd career choices if I ever see
him again I’m ready cut open his head
you know where he’s brave and Howard
Payne may be a stereotypical yet
effective baddie you think if you pick
up all the bus drivers teeth they’ll
give you another medal
but the sadistic gasps sniffing
serial-killer frankbooth is definitely a
psychotic masterwork hmm don’t say
please chant number nine Jeremy Irons
with an unconventional look that goes
from sexy to scary without much effort
and an accent most actors would kill for
perhaps now’s not the time don’t mean
that won’t be a time Irons has patented
the sarcastic villain we still think his
uber weirdo uber warlock deserved a
better send-off but Skaar more than
makes up for that my quiver with ya
no matter the era accent or motive his
lines drip with disdain even when he’s
just playing a simple game of Simon Says
do you understand me drop oh yes I
understand I understand it your can
Wakko it likes to play kids games that’s
what I understand hardly hardly number
eight ray Fiennes how do you rank
evildoing from this day four
you put your faith in me being Harry
Potter’s no no’s nemesis is bad
so is playing the god of the underworld
and a serial killer called the Tooth
Fairy is up there you owe me all but
portraying a Nazi war criminal who gets
off by gunning down unsuspecting Jews is
worst of all this is really cruel Oscar
now giving them hope you shouldn’t do
that dead cool minds can actually play a
good romantic lead but he’s got the
skills and Layton’s sinister factor to
go either way it’s an inanimate object
he only ran out of the King object
number 7 John Malkovich Malkovich is
weird make a move and the bunny gets and
creepy Johnny likes bunnies that
menacing stare has a lot to do with it
but his two silky voice also plays a big
role I have a rendezvous with death oh
and so does the President and so do you
Frank if you get too close to me you
have a rendezvous with my ass mother
chilling disquieting intense and spooky
are also words we use to describe him
whether he’s portraying a dangerous
womanizer a would-be presidential
assassin a criminal mastermind or a
Russian mobster this son of bitch all
guided chick-chick-chick
he trapped me hell he’s even scary when
he’s reading a Christmas story had just
settled down for long winters now now
kids here’s a question true or false
during the holiday season the suicide
rate increases significantly
number six Kevin Spacey you’re looking
for me
well say this specie plays the nice
nobody as well as the vile villain but
his bad guys are just so cool if I was
gonna put my balls and honey and shaved
coconut you do that too
I would not sure yeah cuz I’ve got some
coconut we can’t pinpoint why but we
think it’s as offbeat attitude and quiet
confidence you know he’s always planning
his next diabolical move whatever that
may be the only reason that I’m here
right now
is that I wanted to be Lex Luthor in all
his bald glory has never been so wicked
come on let me hear you say it just want
to come on
you’re insane no no I want the other
thing come on I know this is dangling
oppa took your tongue honey you’re just
once please Superman will know number 5
Hugo Weaving
it’s all about his terrifying voice and
his face
weaving is elf-like and he does make an
okay looking chick but those are about
the only good guy looks he can pull off
if they cut off one head two more shall
take its place
hail Hydra between kicking Captain
America’s butt and making neo wish he
taken the blue pill weaving just gets
under our skin purpose of life is sure V
is ambiguous but will never get the way
he says mr. Anderson out of our heads
I’m gonna enjoy watching you die
number four Christopher Walken any Bond
villain gets a lifetime membership to
the bad guy Hall of Fame oh no Muse me
Mr Bond well it’s not mutual
despite his natural comedic timing sense
of humor and dancing skills Walken is
one creepy dude with bulging eyeballs
and a quirky manner of speaking that’s
best suited to evil roles that was
somebody I loved I loved him but I got
the call I put him down like a sick
animal able to act unfeeling intelligent
vicious or just plain crazy Walken plays
mobsters Archangels or exterminators
with equal Flair yep mice he’s good
number three Gary Oldman bring me
everyone do you mean everyone this guy’s
such a chameleon we’re always surprised
when we figure out it was him in that
movie and to be honest that happens a
lot I know I’m pretty but I ain’t as
pretty as a couple of titties he plays
good guys bad guys good guys who seem
bad come on that’s killing wait I did my
white day guys who kill presidents guys
who suck blood and guys with weird
haircuts
you’re a monster silk his villains
always have different motivations styles
and even accents but you can be sure
they’re all equally terrifying I’m going
to lecture me about the Rose of War
don’t number two Alan Rickman Hans
Gruber need we say more
yippee-ki-yay mother Rickman wants to
shed his reputation as a villain but
with iconic baddies like the Sheriff of
Nottingham it’s damn near impossible
cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and
orphans no more merciful beheadings
and call off Christmas Snape may have
been okay in the end but he sure is mean
and creepy do you have any idea how
serious this is
why is Rickman so evil looking is it the
squinty eye thing or his voice also have
you seen him as a romantic lead
unsettling is an understatement you have
not heard I delightful songbird miss
Marianne a great cousin indeed
number one Christopher Lee I could have
shot you down when you landed but that
would have been ridiculously easy
British dudes just make the best
villains Lee’s deep voice and towering
frame helped make him a great bad guy
but it’s his ability to turn on a dime
from slick and charming to fiery and
furious that put him over the top
we can’t list all his villains but will
say this he played Dracula so often we
lost count and fought James Bond death
double of seven mano-a-mano the
Fellowship of the Ring and Jedi Knights
it is obvious that this contest cannot
be decided by our knowledge of the force
a bio skills with a lightsaber do you
agree with our list
no Oh which actors would you not want to
