1. Kiefer Sutherland (I know, he was the hero Jack Bauer on 24, but seriously, the man plays a great "bad guy". Even in Stand By Me he was the jerky older brother.)
2. Anthony Hopkins (HANNIBAL LECTOR from Silence of the Lambs. Need I say more. His scenes from that movie still creep me out).
3. Tim Curry (if you have never seen Stephen King's IT, be warned. It will make you afraid of red haired clowns for life!)
4. Cary Elwes (To me, he will forever be Wesley from The Princess Bride, **sigh**, but he has played more than one bad guy since that movie. He was even a jerk in the movie Twister.)
5. Denzel Washington (He doesn't play one too often, but when he is the bad guy, he does it well, and with style. I don't think the man can look bad in any role!) :)
6. Christopher Lee (the man was Dracula for crying out loud! He was also the bad guy in Return to Witch Mountain, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. And I just saw on IMDB that his birthday is today. Happy 88th birthday Mr. Lee!!)
7. Samuel L. Jackson (the "baddest" of bad guys). And I mean "baddest" in a good way! :)
8. Willem Dafoe (I think pretty much any movie I've seen with him in it, he's playing the villain).
9. Christopher Walken (After seeing him in Hairspray, I almost forgot he has played a villain a time, or two, or seven, in his career).
10. Anthony Perkins (To me, he will forever be Norman Bates from Psycho. Hard to believe he played opposite the beautiful Audrey Hepburn in the movie Green Mansions ).
11. Gary Sinise (I love him on CSI: NY and as Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, but when this guy wants to be bad, he is!)
12. Jack Nicholson ("You can't handle the truth!")
13. Robert Englund ("1, 2..Freddy's coming for you...)
