Actors that play terrific bad guys
I don't know if this topic is a repost, I did use the search engine on this part of the forum and I couldn't find any.
There are some actors that I like that play awesome bad guys, they play mostly good guys though in movies, but in my opinion they make great evil characters. Here are some that I like:
1) Robin Willaims - I find when he plays a bad guy very scary, sick, demented just creepy. It's amazing how good of a bad guy he can play. Pulls in one easy which his charm and jokes.
2) Van Damme - Movies like Double Impact (the brother with the slick back hair) and Black Eagle there is another one that I forgot where he hunts down his clone or brother...I think it's Replicant?

Wish people would use Ray Winstone as a villain more.
Go see the Proposition.
And the definition of an actor ONLY known for super good, white bread All-American good guy roles, but then goes and creates IMO the greatest villain ever is Henry Fonda.
Also two of my all-time favorites that get zero love here. Robert Mitchum & Richard Widmark.

I opened this thread to post Fonda.
James Cromwell damn near matched Fonda. He is so good.
Klaus Kinski.
Heath Ledger did a fantastic job.
Sir Laurence Olivier.
Guy Pierce.
Peter Lorre.
There's a few.
