Michael Wincott as the city's crime-lord in "The Crow"  His voice alone puts him ahead of most movie bad guys.

I don`t know if you have heard of the show called "Lexx" that used to be on the Sci-Fi Channel, but the character named Prince also made an excellent bad guy.

yeah, the chess match between Prince and Kai was awesome. His name is Nigel Bennett I believe.

my favorite bad guy is Rosie O'Donnel.

For all you Hannibal fans, don't miss Alan Cox as the original Hannibal in "Manhunter". I thought his interpretation of Hannibal was a lot creepier than that other guy's. Cox plays him as superficially charming. It's only in the small tells that you see how scary he is--when he eagerly grabs the crime scene photos, unable to maintain the facade because he gets off on the carnage, or when he offers to send a card to Will Graham's home address. Cox underplays him where Hopkins is over the top.

The recent "Red Dragon" remake was much inferior, btw, despite a more famous cast and a bigger budget.

I remember reading an article in Time Magazine about the making of Schindler's List. An elderly woman who as a child had been rescued by Schindler had been asked to chip in regarding the accuracy of the characters/actors looks. She almost had a coronary when Ralph Fiennes walked in. I guess he was a dead ringer the way he carried himself in the uniform.

I'm undecided. Any of the following:

Gary Oldman in The Professional
Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs
Christopher Walken in True Romance
James Gandolfini in True Romance ("First time you kill someone...")
Kevin Spacey in SE7EN
Tim Roth in Planet of the Apes (He was the only reason I watched the remake of Planets.)
Tim Roth in Rob Roy
Guy Pearce in Memento (After watching Memento I definately felt he was the bad guy.)

Isn't Cox's first name Johnathan?
Maybe not.
In any event, "Manhunter" was much better than "Red Dragon".
The casting was better and Michael Mann did an excellent directing job as usual.
And the soundtrack rocked.

I can't remember this one bad guy, He was an albino and a stuntman turn actor. He had one bad guy role and then died in some accident. Was scary as all getout.

I'm not sure if I'm confusing him with Matthias Hues from "I come in Peace". That movie sucked, but the Matthias was pretty scary too.

speaking of Nigel Bennett. He plays the ultimate villain in a Canadian TV show I love called Forever Knight. unfortunately it was cancelled after the third season in a cliffhanger episode. But he rocks as Lucien LaCroix. Nick Knight's Vampire master. The guy has a twisted sense of humor but at the same time just OOZES evil from him. PERFECT villain.

I believe you're thinking of Dar Robinson who played the albino bad guy Moki in Stick. He was killed by a drunk driver while driving his motorcycle right after wrapping up Lethal Weapon (he was the stunt coordinator.)

Though pale skinned and blond, he was not an albino. He did have a pretty cool exchange with Burt Reynolds in Stick though:
Moki (Dar Robinson):   [i]What are you looking at?[/i]
Stick (Burt Reynolds)  [i]I've never seen someone with bunny-eyes before.[/i]

"[red]Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man... a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn't be able to finish your meal. After him, I picked the lawyer and I know you both must have been secretly thanking me for that one. This is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets! A woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever.[/red]"

I rented a movie called "The Grey Zone" that was made last year.  It was the story of the only armed uprising in Auschwitz during WWII.

Havey Keitel played Oberscharfuhrer Muhlsdorf, a low-level overseer at the camp.  He played this guy so hard and cold I had to remind myself he was only ACTING!
