Least Belieavable Movie Bad Guy?
I watched DH4 last night and did not buy Olyphant as the bad guy whatsoever. Considering how menacing his Deadwood character is, that surprised me.
Who else do you consider "miscast" at the bad guy?

I always thought Dennis Hopper was miscast in "Speed" - he just doesn't strike me as a criminal mastermind. Which I guess is the point, but he still seems really out of place.

Bennett in Commando. He was supposed to be Arnie's equal but he was a flabby australian with a porn stache and that lame chain maily vest. Let off some steam, Bennett!

Timothy Olyphant is easily near the top of the list for me. He ruined Die Soft 4. It could've at least been a decent flick had it not been for him.
I always hated Charles Gray's Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever. He seemed nothing like any of the previous Blofelds we'd seen(or heard).
