What actors do you think are just so naturally creepy no matter what film they are in?
These actors listed below just scare the hell out of me no matter what films they are in. They are just so damn creepy, and they seem like they would be pretty creepy in real life as well.
1. Michael Pitt
2. Vincent Gallo
3. Eddie Marsan/David O'Hara
4. Crispin Glover
5. Elijah Wood/Toby Maguire
6. Nick Stahl
7. Leo Fitzpatrick
8. Lili Taylor
9. Sean Penn
10. Colm Meaney/Colin Firth
(And I used to think Willem Dafoe, Gary Oldman, and Steve Buscemi were creepy. Dafoe, Oldman, and Buscemi are just too likable in movies and in real life.)

Your list of 10 has 13 people in it. The right answer to this question by the way is Gary Busey.

Yeah...what's up with doubling people up? If it's going to be 13, just make the list 13.
The first person that popped into my head was Crispin Glover.

1. Michael Pitt - Yeah, he seems a little creepy
2. Vincent Gallo - Definitely. The guy creeps me the fuck out!
3. Eddie Marsan/David O'Hara - don't know who they are.
4. Crispin Glover - Used to think he was creepy, then I saw him on Letterman. He may be a little off but he actually seems like a nice guy.
5. Elijah Wood/Toby Maguire - Both seem like nice, normal guys to me.
6. Nick Stahl - Used to think he was weird, liked him in T3, he's OK in my book.
7. Leo Fitzpatrick - don't know who he is. Even after looking him up on IMDB I still don't know.
8. Lili Taylor - Got that weird bohemian look, but I find her oddly attractive; She may be creepy as shit for all I know.
9. Sean Penn - Good actor but a bit of an anger management problem, that's all.
10. Colm Meaney/Colin Firth - Both these guys actually seem pretty cool to me.
I'll add:
Cillian Murphy
Jeff Goldblum
Nicolas Cage
Ted Levine
Jared Leto

After working in L.A. over the years I've heard about some of these people.
I've a met a few as-well.
Cillian Murphy - Creepy looking but evidently a really nice guy
Jeff Goldblum - Super nice guy, willing to talk and take pictures. If you mention knowledge of Jazz music he will talk your ear off.
Nicolas Cage - Super nice guy, takes himself too seriously but doesn't degrade others while doing it.
Jared Leto - Super ASShole!
Crispin Glover - Dresses in disguise while shopping, and very standoffish
Sean Penn - Another Super ASShole!
John C. Reily - is a MORON in person
And before anyone mentions him, Christopher Walken is one of the nicest guys I have EVER met.

Crispin Glover is actually quite nice in person, still odd though.

Crispin Glover... probably more weird than actually creepy, though it can be a very fine line.
Vincent Gallo... definite creepy vibe there, though I don't know whether it's something Gallo intentionally cultivates, or if he's really like that.
The right answer to this question by the way is Gary Busey.
:up: First person I thought of.

James Spader has always seemed like a super creepy guy, but I'm sure he's probably pretty cool in real life.
Gary Busey is, of course, the right answer. No one can top his level of creepiness.

The movie "Secretary" probably helped that inclination.

Robert Blake.
Only took 22 posts to mention the first person that came to my mind.
Off Wiki ... "Bakley's four children filed a civil suit against Blake asserting that he was responsible for their mother's death. On November 18, 2005, the jury found Blake liable for the wrongful death of his wife and ordered him to pay US$30 million."
Still loved the guy in Lost Highway.

1. Tom Cruise - for obvious reasons.
2. Vincent Cassel. He plays creeps in all his films and he happens to be one in real life, serving as pimp/agent to his wife, Monica Bellucci.
Jeremy Sisto - He has this Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) meets Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs) quality that creeps me out
I agree. I think he's a decent actor and he's good on Law & Order, but he does have a strange vibe about him.
Benicio Del Toro has a similiar strange feel about him.
Asia Argento has dated both Michael Pitt and Johnathan Rhys-Meyers in the past. Talk about a trio of crazies! All of them give me the heebie-jeebies.

He was perfect for that role, and that's what made me think of him.
I've worked w/ Buscemi a couple of times. He's far from creepy in real life. Nice, engaging. I actually got to meet his mother and brother as well. Brother looks just like him.

Maybe Colin Firth is a bit more unlikable than creepy. His serious style of acting and his presence just creeps me out. I don't buy him in any of his "romantic" lead roles.

Edward Norton!? I put him up there with Colin Firth in these responses. Neither are creepy. Sean Penn isn't either. He just looks like an incredible asshole.
I always thought Ethan Hawke looked a little creepy.
Also, Peter Weller, Willem Defoe, Peter Sarsgaard,
Hayden Christensen, Kevin Spacey (great actor tho).
What about actresses? They're considered "actors" too.
My vote goes to: Tilda Swinton, Juliette Lewis, old Kathleen Turner,
the Olsen Twins, Yeardley Smith. All come to the top of my
head.

He has a special quality about him. Even though he's kind of creepy and ugly looking, I know a lot of women, myself included, who think he's still kind of attractive in an offbeat way.
Crispin Glover was the actor that first came to my mind.
And Colin Firth? Mr. Darcy is never creepy. -ohbfrank-
