@glitterbag,
I can picture him in the Hucksters, spitting on the conference room table. Thanks for the memory, glitter.

@glitterbag,
He was, the first one. I really wind her up about it. She doesn't like Diehard, that's my fault. We've seen it too many times.

Jeremy Irons has played a number of sinister villains.

I love this brief moment from Reversal of Fortune.

@edgarblythe,
Basil Rathbone played a few slimy villians in period films. Usually skin tight tights and ruffled collars. All before the Sherlock Holmes films.

Here's an off the wall choice.
I love it when friendly clownish actors go to the dark side.
They make great villains.

Jeff Daniels in Clint Eastwood's Blood Work.
<oops>
Spoiler alert!
