Unforgettable Bad Guys in Movies
We were watching Last King Of Scotland on television 2 nights back and it reminded me of what a great job Forest Whitaker has done in that movie. His portrayal of Idi Amin is so believable and does appear fearful.
It got me thinking about other great performances by actors portraying bad guys and how they actually injected fear into your head during and after the movie. Some of the ones I could think of were:
Anthony Hopkins - Silence of the Lambs,
Jonathan Scott-Taylor as Damien Thorn - Omen 2
David Prowse James Earl Jones (voice) - Star Wars 4,5,6
Arnold Schwarzenegger - Terminator 1
Robert Patrick - Terminator 2
Alan Rickman - Robin Hood and Die Hard
Denzel Washington - Training Day
Daniel Day-Lewis - Gangs of New York
Jack Nicholson - A Few Good Men
Joaquin Phoenix - Gladiator
John Travolta - Broken Arrow
John Malkovich - Con Air
Gary Oldman - Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Michael Douglas - Wall Street
Arnold Vosloo - The Mummy / The Mummy Returns
Jack Nicholson - The Shining
Ian McKellan - X-Men
Michael Madsen - Reservoir Dogs
Wesley Snipes - Demolition Man
I am sure I have left out some other great performances, let me know if you think there are other good performances to mention.
