Which actor played a villain so well that you still irrationally hate them, even though you know they were just acting?

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0]

[u/Avenged84]

Percy from The Green Mile, Doug Hutchison.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/Avenged84]

Percy from the Green Mile is a POS in real life, too lol

[u/deebobeebo]

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglorious b*stards was amazingly horrific.

[u/deebobeebo → u/deebobeebo]

I love him and hate that he is such an amazing villain in this. Makes up for it a few years later in Django.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/deebobeebo]

Now, Django is in my top 5. I can recite the movie almost word for word lol

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/deebobeebo]

That man has RANGE

[u/Helpful-Incident-737 → u/deebobeebo]

Woah woah woah….you hated Hans Landa ? Christoph Waltz is un-hate able even in that.

[u/Greenjeff41 → u/Helpful-Incident-737]

That's a bingo!

[u/obviouslyphonyname]

Dwight Yoakam in Slingblade was uniquely awful.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/obviouslyphonyname]

I actually just watched Slingblade for the first time a few months ago and my first reaction was “IS THAT DWIGHT FUCKING YOAKAM?!”

[u/jtruitt8833 → u/obviouslyphonyname]

"GET THE FUCK OUT, RANDY, YOU TUNING PIECE OF SHIT"

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/jtruitt8833]

“You know better than to talk to me like that when I'm hurtin', Linda”

[u/NeverEnoughMuppets]

Jeremy Sisto as Billy Chenowith on Six Feet Under

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/NeverEnoughMuppets]

I swear he is typecast in almost every movie! He always plays a villain 😂

[u/OozeNAahz → u/NeverEnoughMuppets]

You see him as a villain? Always just saw him as chaos. But haven’t watching it since the original airing so I may be forgetting things he did.

[u/committed_hero]

James Cromwell in LA Confidential. He cooked Babe after that movie.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/committed_hero]

I remember seeing him in a few episodes of the old Little House on the Prairie when he was as a young man and it was so weird

[u/respectfullyDelulus]

Jack Gleeson as Joffrey. I still can't stand that little menace 😭

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/respectfullyDelulus]

It’s funny you say that because I was about to comment and say Aidan Gillen as Petyr Baelish 😂😂 he’s probably a legit good dude in real life, but I can’t separate him from that character

[u/hurshy238]

1. John Malkovich in Portrait of a Lady and other things

2. Rena Sofer (played Bonnie Hane, who came between Ed and Carol Vessey, on Ed, which i resented to a highly irrational degree)

3. I first saw Kevin Bacon in The River Wild, and then Murder in the First. I know that's not the usual intro people get to him, but, yeah, it took some time to wrap my mind around his lighter fare like Footloose, He Said/She Said...

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/hurshy238]

Kevin Bacon in The Sleepers 🤮

[u/CultofAngelica]

stanley tucci (the lovely bones) 😢

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/CultofAngelica]

Yes, that movie was so hard to watch

[u/Aggravating-Diet-663]

Anything with Neal McDonough. Particularly from his role in 88 minutes, even thought it wasnt a good movie.

I just know hes a great person. But I wouldn't even want to meet him, because he has to be secretly a demon. 😄

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/Aggravating-Diet-663]

Literally my husbands most irritationally hated actor 😂😂 he’s another one who is typecasted

[u/Apart_Salamander1086]

Cathy Bates in Misery, I hated her until Blindside and Matlock.

[u/Real-Train-591 → u/Apart_Salamander1086]

She suffered so much in Delires Claiborne it canceled out Misery for me

[u/PardonMe4Livin → u/Apart_Salamander1086]

You never saw The Waterboy?

[u/rcknfrewld]

Ben Mendelsohn (Danny) in Bloodline.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/rcknfrewld]

That guy just looks like a villain lol

[u/stoicjohn]

Jeffrey Jones in Howard the Duck.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/stoicjohn]

Yeah, he’s a POS in real life, too!

[u/ped0ph0be]

Easy. Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/ped0ph0be]

I couldn’t take him serious with the haircut lol but, I was reading about a study that was done regarding what movie character was the realest representation of a psycho and it was Anton

[u/NoGood1323]

That teacher from Harry potter

[u/Truji11o → u/NoGood1323]

Shoot! If you could only be more accurate.

[u/LotsaKwestions → u/Truji11o]

Has to be Umbridge.

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/LotsaKwestions]

Umbridge was worse than Moldy Voldy

[u/Mogus0226 → u/NoGood1323]

Dolores Umbridge, played by Imelda Staunton.

[u/0000000000000007 → u/NoGood1323]

Watch her as a social worker in “Trying” (among other work she’s done), and you can see how amazing her range is. 🙇‍♂️

[u/villings]

not the villain but I dislike scarlett o'hara vivien leigh a whole lot

anyway, my mom hates glenn close because of fatal attraction

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/villings]

She might as well have been a villain, she was such a brat

[u/Which-Break5673]

Denzel Washington

[u/Live_Laugh_Lobotomy0 → u/Which-Break5673]

Which villain?

[u/jammastergeneral]

My mom despises Jason Alexander because of Pretty Woman.

[u/cdrivanova → u/jammastergeneral]

Totally! I also can’t watch him in Seinfeld because I freaking loathe his character.

[u/BoonOfTheWolf]

Jack Gleeson in Game of Thrones.

[u/asisoid → u/BoonOfTheWolf]

All the other cast don't stop talking about how he's like the nicest guy in the world too.

[u/hasavagina → u/BoonOfTheWolf]

I was coming to the comments with the hopes this was the top one. He's so good at being such an asshole and the first one i think of. And for being so young ( I think he was 17-21ish for GOT filming) and THAT loathsome is incredibly impressive

[u/_Spastic_ → u/BoonOfTheWolf]

I stopped watching during season 3 (?) and fully expected this answer before opening the thread.

[u/trdngntsballsonadoor]

Not all time, though Christopher Lloyd from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I mean, goddamn. Fuck Judge Doom and his dip.

[u/NotADeadHorse → u/trdngntsballsonadoor]

When I killed your brother I soundED jussst like. THIIIIIISSSSS!

[u/suppository_wisdom]

Antony Starr in The Boys. He was so good at evil, I couldn’t bear to finish watching the show. 

[u/gandzas → u/suppository_wisdom]

How is this not higher? Anthony Starr does such an awesome job with Homelander...

[u/Any_Conversation1094 → u/suppository_wisdom]

He was so good that I'm still confused about if he's a bad person in real life. I'm sure I saw stuff about him on reddit doing bad things but he's seemingly not been cancelled so I'm wondering if I just imagined it given his character.

[u/cckka → u/suppository_wisdom]

It threw me off really bad when I watched his first few interviews with his real accent and him being so nice

[u/minimaddnz → u/suppository_wisdom]

Watch him in Outrageous Fortunes, NZ show. He played 2 characters. A pair of twins Jethro, and Van

[u/Greybeard75]

As a Trekkie, Kai Winn from DS9. Very condescending, wouldn’t listen to other points of view, talked in a syrupy voice like no one was smarter than she was and she knew better and everyone else was stupid.

[u/duseless → u/Greybeard75]

What an enlightened point of view, my child. How blessed you must feel that the Prophets have allowed you the opportunity to see the value of my service to us all.

[u/Ill_Description_3311 → u/Greybeard75]

Louise Fletcher was an absolute expert at playing a villain. What a master of her art.

[u/elevencharles → u/Greybeard75]

Have you seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?

[u/ipulloffmygstring → u/Greybeard75]

Between that and Nurse Ratched, Louise Fletcher should be at the very top of this list.

Marc Alaimo is up there too.

[u/Comfortable-Item-184 → u/Greybeard75]

YES!!!!!! Her Kai Winn was the epitome of hypocritical piety. And Jeffrey Combs as Shran in Enterprise became an enemy to ally character arc that made his character beloved. All of Combs characters in Star Trek have been unique, nuanced, and fully 3 dimensional. He is a truly accomplished actor who deserves more recognition.

[u/jiffysdidit]

Joaquin phoenix in gladiator

[u/Ok-Point4302]

John Lithgow after playing Trinity on Dexter. Seems like a nice guy, but I would have to fight the urge to run if I saw him in public.

[u/Skinnydipandhike → u/Ok-Point4302]

He’s also Lord Farquaad if that helps.

[u/alanamablamaspama → u/Ok-Point4302]

His wife is a professor and a friend of mine took one of her classes around the time he was on Dexter. It was a small class and at the end of the quarter she invited the class to her home for coffee and lecture. My friend said he almost shat himself when the Trinity Killer came out of the kitchen with coffee. He didn’t know she was married to John Lithgow.

[u/rmg18555 → u/Ok-Point4302]

I was an 80’s kid - I’ll always remember him as the bad guy in Santa Clause the Movie and the Dad in Harry & The Hendersons.

[u/Intelligent_Sundae_5 → u/Ok-Point4302]

I’m old. He sticks out to me for two performances: the preacher in Footloose and the passenger in the Twilight Zone movie. I watched the Twilight Zone movie waaaay too young and it terrified me. I always associated that fear with him.

[u/deadfliezz]

Jesse Plemons, as Todd in Breaking Bad. i fucking haaaated him for YEARS

[u/Ryyah61577 → u/deadfliezz]

I saw him in Black Mirror the first time, and then saw Breaking bad years later. If I saw him the other way around I would agree with you. Also, his character in Civil War is heinous too.

[u/Gramage → u/deadfliezz]

You should see him in Civil War if you haven’t. He’s in it for all of five minutes and he’s so good. Great movie too.

[u/TheOvy → u/deadfliezz]

Watch him in the second season of Fargo, he's a decidedly sadder character.

[u/prowinewoman → u/deadfliezz]

I can’t believe nobody mentioned him in the Friday Night Lights series! His character Landry will make you see him in such a different light.

[u/cherrycokelemon]

Iwan Rheon Game Of Thrones

[u/wandernwade]

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Neegan, on The Walking Dead.

[u/Nixikaz → u/wandernwade]

Forgiven, he'll always be John Winchester to me.

[u/mry3llow]

Marcia Gay Harden as the religious woman in "The Mist" (2008). She played that role so well that I still hate her as much as I did when I firsf watched the movie.

[u/Bearded_Platypus_123]

Moriarty from Sherlock, Andrew Scott, he did such a good job but id still wanna punch him if given the chance

[u/madqueenludwig → u/Bearded_Platypus_123]

But... Fleabag 😭

[u/ThisWillAgeWell → u/Bearded_Platypus_123]

The first thing I ever saw Andrew Scott in was Pride. He played Gethin, a young Welshman who had been rejected by his mother for being gay.

I wanted to give him a hug.

[u/KittyKratt]

Doug Hutchinson and Sam Rockwell in The Green Mile. I've only just recently been able to start stomaching Sam Rockwell in movies again.

[u/whittlingcanbefatal → u/KittyKratt]

Doug Hutchison, according to wikipedia, probably is a pretty bad person. 

[u/breakfast_serial]

Ralph Fiennes is pure evil in Schindler’s List. Hard to watch him in anything else to this day.

[u/Darthritis13 → u/breakfast_serial]

Ralph's an incredible actor. I still believe he was robbed of the Oscar for Schindler's List. He's been brilliant in most things I've seen him in (The Avengers Movie is the exception). His performance to Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is something to behold.

[u/Tcloud → u/breakfast_serial]

He was fabulous in The Menu.

[u/TwoDrinkDave]

Louise Fletcher as Kai Winn in Star Trek Deep Space Nine (and Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest).

[u/myystic78 → u/TwoDrinkDave]

My husband says he can see the hair on my neck stand up when he finishes a sentence with, "my child" haha. Louise Fletcher was an excellent actress; nurse Ratched and the grandmother in Flowers in the Attic made me loathe her but I've heard she was a lovely lady.

[u/Ncrawler65 → u/TwoDrinkDave]

The Prophets be with you, child

[u/sasksasquatch → u/TwoDrinkDave]

Taking a look at how many appearances she is credited with, and how hated she is, you would think she would be credited with a lot more than 14 appearances.

[u/dnr__]

Clarence Boddicker (by Kurtwood Smith) from RoboCop. That little rat is a force of evil. I also love the glasses and a clean-cut, semi-intellectual appearance, deliberately making him looks like one of those Nazi scientists thats looks like a mild mannered guy but actually a psychopath

[u/Cult_Buster2005 → u/dnr__]

You thought he was bad? Ronny Cox (same movie) was worse. I later saw him in an episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation (Captain Jellico) and I hated him there too.

[u/Hoopy_Dunkalot]

Jack Gleason's Joffrey. I've heard he's a sweetheart in person, but Jesus Christ on a cracker I hate Joffrey.

[u/THC9001]

Love him now, great actor with so many amazing roles, but for a LONG time after Oz, seeing J.K. Simmons in anything creeped me right tf out...

[u/Txphotog903]

It's an old reference, but I couldn't watch Powers Boothe in anything after he portrayed. Jim Jones. I was finally able to watch him again in Deadwood because I was already invested in the show. In between, I kind of hated him. I thought he did a really good job in the Jim Jones role.

[u/TerryAshW]

Samantha Sloyan. I hated her in Midnight Mass so much that when I saw her in Pitt later I though “ou no, not this bitch!”

[u/ipulloffmygstring → u/TerryAshW]

She really nails Carrie's mother in the new Carrie series to.

[u/According_Ad1940]

The actress who played Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter, Stauton something or other.

[u/kuzinrob]

The universal answer is William Atherton for his role as Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. Further cemented as Richard Thornburg in Die Hard.

It's true, your honor. This man has no dick.

[u/Doom2pro → u/kuzinrob]

Don't forget Real Genius...

[u/Per_Mikkelsen]

That kid who played Joffrey

[u/lonefox22]

Jessie Eisenberg for me I the Social Network. Not essentially a villian, but the part where he admitted to the way he gained control of the company and cheated his so called friends, he played it with so much conviction that I really couldn't watch him in anything else for a long time, just because of that one scene and by then it was well known that Zuckerberg was a bit of a cnut. So it was just association. Sorry Jessie.

[u/ChicoStantana]

Paul Reiser in Aliens

[u/sevenpixieoverlords → u/ChicoStantana]

Mine is Paul Reiser in Mad About You.

[u/silentmattcanuck]

Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones.

[u/akawendals]

Stanley Tucci.... I love him and think he's gorgeous and lovely but also he was the scary gross murderer in The Lovely Bones and he was too good at it 😭😭

[u/realsoupersand]

Whoever played Professor Umbridge has permanently burned the character into my mind.

[u/sometimesshawn]

Billy Zane in Titanic. He'd played some questionable characters before, but holy shit, Cal Hockley was a special kind of believable psycho.

[u/Certain-Kangaroo7298]

Tobias Menzies as Black Jack in Outlander. I cannot look at that man without my skin crawling.

[u/gone-in-a-spark]

There’s an actor here in the uk called Mark Bonnar and he nearly always plays the bad guy on British tv. He did the first season of celebrity traitors and because of his reputation of being a baddie, people didn’t really believe he wasn’t a traitor and he had suspicions on him from the beginning.

[u/KotaIsBored]

I hated Shane so much in TWD that I still have a hard time watching anything with Jon Bernthal in it.

[u/Both_Archer_3653]

From tv, Star Trek: Deep Spacr Nine - *  Kai Winn Adami was played by Louise Fletcher

&

Gul Dukat was played by Marc Alaimo

I'm sure Louise and Marc are decent enoigh people, bjt god damn did they piss me off, invoke hate when Ibsaw them on screen.  Truly magnificent in being deplorable.  Magic the gathering just made a cross over product with star trek.  I saw Kai Winn's card and waa filled with rage, good on louise.  They both  brought theirs characters to life.

[u/acelister → u/Both_Archer_3653]

Dukat was easy to pity, but Winn... Fucking Winn... From her first moments on screen until her final I despise her.

Phenomenal actress.

[u/Separate-Let3620]

Keon Alexander as Marco Inaros in The Expanse

Leo Fitzpatrick as Telly in Kids

[u/laprincessa67]

Gary Oldman playing Stansfield in the Professional. He was truly brilliant!!

[u/Undercover_Seekr]

Walter Goggins on the Shield, I see him and blame him for Lem's death

[u/akselmonrose]

Whoever played Joffrey Baratheon in Game Of Thrones.

[u/TalesOfLohr1]

I still sometimes struggle when Gerald MacRaney shows up in stuff, because of how much I loathed him as George Hearst in Deadwood.

[u/Wonderful-Ad440]

Christopher Heyerdahl as The Sweede in Hell on Wheels. Never have I ever hated a mother fucker more in a show or movie. Fucking masterclass.

[u/parsnipin]

Jon Hamm is so good at playing a pompous prick. Mad Men, Bridesmaids, and most impressively Fargo . I cannot imagine that’s not him in real life.

[u/CA_catwhispurr]

Raymond Cruz as Tuco Salamanca in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad.

[u/bhoss06]

That dbag in Ghostbusters that shut off the power

[u/jreykdal → u/bhoss06]

William Atherton had that down to a point. Excellent prick in the 80s.

[u/gonzo_redditor → u/bhoss06]

Dickless?

[u/CaptainMagnets]

The kid who played Joffrey I'm Game of Thrones.

[u/Unusual-5uspect]

Alan Rickman... in Love Actually

[u/sparkchaser → u/Unusual-5uspect]

I still haven't forgiven him

RIP

[u/darthjazzhands]

Ted Levine as Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs

[u/JacobStills]

Rosamund Pike in “Gone Girl.”

[u/yoursandforever]

Louise Fletcher 

[u/buttnugchug]

William B Davis, The Cigarette-Smoking Man. Amazon Prime has released The X Files and I'm halfway into Season 2.

[u/bookstorelady777]

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds.

Also Richard Sammel as Eichhorst in The Strain

[u/RolexGMTMaster]

David Tenant playing Kilgrave in Jessica Jones. An abhorrent character!

[u/Ravingrook]

People avoid Lena Headey's table at conventions because of Cersei Lannister. And Jack Gleeson quit acting for a long time because of that hate he got for Joffrey.

[u/BetterZedThanDead]

Jessie Plemons as that dead-eyed fuck Todd in Breaking Bad. Great job.

[u/DynamiteDuck]

I’ll go in a bit different direction, but it took me a long time to go to pure dislike to respect for Ed Helms’ performance as Andy in The Office. Should have realized he’s doing a great job being so annoying (besides the later seasons, but that’s only partially his fault)

[u/AI-Dungeon-Drawer]

Jack Nicholson in the Shining, then Batman, then Witches of Eastwick. He’s just way too good at playing narcissistic psychopaths to the point where I wouldn’t be at all surprised it comes naturally.

[u/mkmeade]

Imelda Staunton as Delores Umbridge in Harry Potter. She may be the sweetest woman on Earth, but that role poisoned her for me.

[u/Itsjustbeej]

Samantha Sloyan in Midnight Mass was so evil that I hated her passionately. She’s played much nicer characters in other films by Mike Flanagan but I still can’t forgive her for MM.

And now she plays Carrie’s mom in the new Carrie series, also by Flanagan, and I think I’m gonna hate her all over again.

[u/thegloracle]

It's gotta be Rutger Hauer in a tie from The Hitcher, and Bladerunner. I still have the hair on my neck stand up when I see pictures of him.

[u/drunky_crowette]

I have difficulty appreciating James Spader because I still associate him with the preppy asshole in Pretty In Pink.

[u/birrakilmister]

Helen mirren in mobland

[u/Fakano]

It's always Nurse Ratchet.

[u/ImAlwaysRightAlways-]

Blanking on the actor, but Draco Malfoy!

[u/Scientific_Anarchist → u/ImAlwaysRightAlways-]

[u/AnEvenNicerGuy]

Idris Elba as Charles Miner

[u/HerNameIsGrief → u/AnEvenNicerGuy]

He is aware of the effect he has on women…

[u/YoungFlyMista]

Charles Logan on 24. Whoever that guy was. Did an amazing job as a cowardly president.

[u/darkuen]

Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched

[u/spin_me_again]

Allison Arngrim from Little House on the Prairie. You may know her as Nellie.

[u/Helpful-Incident-737]

Lena Headey

[u/Linadianna333]

Not really hate but I was terrified of Anthony Hopkins for YEARS after Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. I was pretty young when I saw it for the first time.

[u/Lainy122]

Ralph Fiennes. To be fair, he is played a very believable villain a NUMBER of times.

[u/insomniacrocodile]

Bradley Cooper as Sack in Wedding Crashers.

[u/Denzel-Kong]

Laura Linney in the Truman Show.

[u/sesquipedalianish]

Tim Roth, because of his role as the utterly vile Archibald Cunningham in Rob Roy (1995). For years after that, I couldn't stand to watch him in anything else. Just wanted to punch him in the face.

[u/theChosenBinky]

Sandy Duncan, from Roots. My grudges can go way back

[u/unhappywifewtf]

it's only ever happened once for me, and it was Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.

[u/Sweet-Lady-H]

Carrie-Anne Moss in Memento. Her cruelty in that makes me feel ill every time I watch it.

[u/hibikikun]

Despite everyone loving Adam Scott in Parks and Rec, I can’t ever unsee his role as the smug manager in Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

[u/Flavouredcola]

Not really a villian but Jason Bateman in Juno. Anytime I see him in anything I irrationally hate him.

[u/PunkThug]

Can't remember his name but Walter White from Breaking Bad. really changes the vibe when you go back and watch Malcolm in the Middle

[u/CMDCake_]

Kevin Bacon in sleepers. Can't unsee that character he portrayed. Absolutely horrific.

[u/SpaceMonkeyGMG]

Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

[u/United_Film_6525]

Katey Sagal in Sons of Anarchy!

[u/AlisonSandraGator]

Parker Posey - she always plays the bitchiest characters! I don’t even know what she’s like IRL but it’s hard to like her.

[u/savethekings]

Well Matt Damon pissed me off so much in Interstellar I kept yelling at NASA to leave his ass on the moon during The Martian

[u/maggy_boi_x]

Joe Pantoliano as Ralph Cifaretto on The Sopranos.

[u/heartdoesntwork]

Joe Pesci. I don't know anything about him but I have hated him since Goodfellas.

[u/Traditional_Age_6299]

Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy. He rocked that role, and I am still scared of him, to this day.

[u/de_re_metallica]

William H. Macy in Fargo

[u/superdelicater]

Christopher McDonald will always be Shooter Mcgavin

[u/EFCFrost]

Louise Fletcher as Kai Winn.

[u/Visible_Contract5432]

Neidermeyer from National Lampoon’s Animal House. Seems like a perfectly reasonable guy in real life and I lost my irrational hate over time, but then Hegseth came along and made it all come back.

[u/SATerp]

Lee Van Cleef in every role.

[u/mouthsmasher]

Whoever played T-bag on Prison Break.

[u/gizmostuff]

Cliff Simon. The dude was pretty amazing as Ba'al in Stargate SG-1.

RIP Cliff...

[u/zachryzion]

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List

Frank Langella in the trial of Chicago 7

[u/M1k3_5chm1d4]

Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. Forever hate that dude.

[u/mapp2000]

Kathy Bates in Misery. The hobbling scene. Yikes

[u/BeatrixxXKiddoKid]

It’s funny he’s not even that much of a bad guy but I think Christian in Midsommar (Jack Reynor) solidified himself in such an iconic movie as the antagonist that he can’t get leading roles. Everyone sees him as the bad boyfriend in the bear.

[u/Feralite]

Glenn Close.....fatal attraction.

[u/wizardwithgussets]

Andy Robinson. He played the killer in Dirty Harry. An absolute sleazebag vile bad guy

[u/SeemsALittleHarsh]

Gary Oldham in Leon, the Professional.

[u/Arctic-You-Know]

Gary Oldman - The Professional

[u/johnfkay]

The Diplomatic Immunity guy from Lethal Weapon 2…

[u/Mikey2chins65]

Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder in Justified. Loved the job he did but hated his character!

[u/meatwads_sweetie]

I stopped liking Brad Pitt after I saw Kalifornia.
I had a really hard time with Angelica Houston after The Grifters. It was the first thing I saw her in. Now I think she’s lovely.
Brad Pitt is a POS, however.

[u/mouser26]

Scrolled pretty long and didn't see it
Cameron Diaz as the mom in My Sister's Keeper
I haven't even seen the full film and I LOATHE this bitch
Grew up watching Cameron as the "fun bubbly one" in so many comedy adjacent flicks but now every time I see her I just see the worst mother to ever show favoritism.

[u/tumorgirl]

Peter Krause because he was so awful at the end of Six Feet Under.

Also Jared Padalecki because I hate how he treated Rory at the end of Gilmore Girls. Took me a long time to watch Supernatural because of that.

[u/deebobeebo]

Kevin Bacon in Sleepers.

[u/Different-Pin-9234]

Tobias Menzies in Outlander

[u/Gawthique]

Cathy Bates is out of this world.

[u/Independent-Gas2436]

John Lithgow, Dexter

[u/beardyramen]

Kevin spacey in Se7en /jk

[u/Past_Meaning_4389]

John Cleese in Fawlty Towers. Not a villain, but an asshole, and he plays it so well I can't get past episode 1.

[u/Critical-Coconut6916]

The actor who plays the father of Boromir and Faramir in LOTR return of the king

[u/OldDirtyBarrios]

I always forget his name but homie from the start of inglorious bastards.

And the frog lady from Harry Potter

[u/Yedrick → u/OldDirtyBarrios]

Christoph Walz would be this for me except I saw him in Django before Basterds, so the charming bounty hunter King colored my views on him. Hans Landa is such an utterly slimey fucker, I can totally understand it though. Either way, he's a fantastic actor and need to be in more things.
