Movies When an Actor Is Too Good at Playing Villains - Gary Oldman

[Takes Two To Tango]

Great video perspective of his whole career.

Must see if you are a fan of his.

He won an Oscar for playing Winston Churchill.

Churchill is only a villain to neo-Nazis and Indians.

 

[Goon Dog]

Jason Isaacs is supposed to be one of the nicest guys in show business but damn he plays a great villain.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

You have to mention Sean Bean when you talk about iconic villain actors

Are you saying that one does not just create a thread about villains without mentioning Sean Bean?

The guy in my AV quit the business, because he was so good at playing a bad guy that he was being harassed in the streets.

Alan Rickman was another actor who was always great as a villain

 

[Highway99]

Timothy Carey:

Michael Ironside

Ironically, the first role I can remember seeing him in was the ex-CIA agent who helps the Resistance in V. Not a particularly nice guy, but definitely not a baddie, either.

Alan Rickman was great in every role he played.

Yeah, he also is often tapped to play the gruff, hardass, almost anti-heroic Staff Sargent type of character. He was literally that in Battleship Troopers. He's only a bad guy in the sense that it's a satire, and technically all of our protagonists are militant, hominid-centrist, galactic fascists.

Sad really. He was the best "child" actor in the series and deserved to have his career launched before any of the others yet was so good at what he did idiots chased him out of the game.

I hope he got paid and doest have to put up with bullshit anymore.

 

[Bob Gray]

Just looking at his face is anger inducing

He absolutely stole every scene in Death of Stalin, and Zhukov was actually one of the nicest guys in the film.

Well, for a Russian, anyway.
