Scariest actor

Welcome to A2K, Tobruk & enjoy!

About the most evil actor: Thinking, thinking ...

Donald Sutherland was very goose bump inspring in 1900. What a chilling role & what a terrific actor!

Well, hmmm......Lee Marvin was always type cast as a bad guy. Anyone see, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?" I'd say Christopher Lee was pretty scary if I hadn't read his autobiography.

Steve Buscimi and Micky Rourke both give me the heebie jeebies. And Tony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho.

Walken.
Lee Van Cleef.

Walken does 'disturbed' well.

I can't think of anyone with scary eyebrows...

Dennis Hopper right after seeing Blue Velvet? Now that was disturbing.

Lon Chaney

In my opinion Lee Van Cleef was always evil.

I adore Willem DaFoe. But - or because - he is scary.

Paul Reubens

Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs", caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand straight up. But he is really not like that. Shows to go ya what a great actor he is.

There was something about Robert Mitchum that exuded malevolence, in whatever part that he played.

I take it that Tobruk means someone you would find scary in themselves, the person, not a character they've played. In that regard I agree with the choice of Christopher Walken - maybe followed by John Malkovich.

Although Willem Dafoe often plays 'not very nice' people, he's really rather good looking, very friendly and - it seemed to me - quite shy!

I had the pleasure of meeting him here in Melbourne a couple of years ago when he was appearing in a play. I got his signature twice - in my autograph book and on the cover of my 'Lulu On The Bridge' video.

Shekeda,

I'm envious that you met Willem Dafoe! I agree that he is good-looking. I've seen interviews with him and he seems like a nice guy. I don't know what it is about him that is scary, maybe the apparent intensity, not sure.

Hello, Shekada ... Greetings from home!

I've never been scared of anybody but if Michael Madsen is anything like the characters he portrays I dont mind admitting if I met him in a dark alley I'd run like a rabbit.

Christopher Walken is not scary in Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice video.

This is an animated version of that video:
Weapon of Choice

Jack Nicholson, the shining anyone?

Jack Nocholson (in "Silence of the Lambs") and Antony Hopkins (permanently, this man is just scary... )

Another vote for Walken.

Saw somewhere that his daughter is Angelina Jolie. Poor thing. Could you imagine calling HIM in to get the boogie man out from under the bed???
