Which actors do you think plays the best Villains?

[Beanz]

Christopher Lee, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Samuel L. Jackson

They are all great actors and I think to successfully convince people of menace you need your acting chops, the same as portraying any other character. Begsy or Begsby ?, the character Robert Carlisle played I'm Trainspotting was terrifying because he made you believe that he was totally lacking in empathy or compassion he would fuck you up for fun. My old man went to Hollywood in the late 70's and got me and my older brother 2 signed photos. Robert mitchum and James Garner. I knew who Garner was because of the Rockford Files. Now I know who Mitchum is and wish I could find that signed photo. He could act and he WAS Max Cady, that made him scary.
