Which 1980s/1990s movie villain actors do you miss?
In Hollywood, it just seems like one can have a longer movie career playing heroes instead of villains. I remember that in the 1980s/1990s, there would always be that one actor who was playing villains in consecutive big-budget Hollywood films, and then they disappeared from cinema (but probably ending up still having a good tv/direct-to-video career). Which 1980s/1990s movie villain actors do you miss?
Here's my list:
1. Kurtwood Smith
2. Michael Ironside
3. Michael Wincott
4. Ronny Cox
5. Bolo Yeung
6. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa
(and yes, it looks like i'm a fan of Paul Verhoeven's villains)

I always thought John Travolta played some of the most badass villains in Broken Arrow and Face/Off. Though admittedly, Nic Cage did it better in the brief scene in the beginning of the film.

He was an asshole in everything he's been in, but I liked him.

Vernon Wells...too bad he left movies to play on the BlueJays.

I can't think of his name, but he was the blonde haired kid in Karate Kid who fought Ralph Macchio in the finals, and he also played the same arrogant badguy in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. He was always an unlikeable guy in the 1980's films.

There's a guy whose name I can't think of now, but he always played a Mafia type. Tall, dark hair, skinny rather than fat, acne scars on the face. He'd be my pick.
