Which famous actors have never taken a role playing a villain or a "bad guy?"
taken a role playing a villain or a "bad guy?"
I think this thread will contain spoilers but I am curious about famous male actors with more than a few movie roles that have never played a bad guy/villian.
Maybe Will Smith if Six degrees doesn't really count.
I also wanted to say Morgan Freeman because he always plays the trusted President or confident but then he

Jackie Chan steadfastly refuses to do it, owing to his public image in Asia. He once bitched out a magazine for publishing a picture of him smoking, as he wants to set a good example for Chinese kids. Not smoking would be a better step, but he's got a point.

Stewart was the heavy in his first film, one of the Thin Man series. Eastwood was often a villain, even if he was the main character.

It seems that Morgan Freeman never plays villains, but he does...also was villain in:
Other actors that should play villains:
Clint Eastwood (likable vigilante roles with a heart don't count)
Naomi Watts (she's so likable in all her roles, but we know she can act psychotic)
Jessica Alba (she just seems so nice - I want to see her in a real meaty villain role...her mean role in Never Been Kissed doesn't really count)
Dakota Fanning (I would like to see her play some child mafia kingpin)
Natalie Portman (she's too nice in all her roles)
The last really great female villain role was Salma Hayak in Lonely Hearts. It was a truely awful movie, but Salma Hayak was genuinely scary and unlikable in it.

Rent Awake with Hayden Christiansen. Not a great movie though. But you get your wish.
