Top 10 Wholesome Actors Who Took Evil Roles 

Liam Neeson - Batman Begins, Benedict Cumberbatch - Star Trek: Into Darkness and Jake Gyllenhaal - Spider-Man: Far From Home

Monique from the Parkers and stand up comedy to crazy woman that kills her whole family in 'The Reading"

Keanu Reeves had a villain role in Man of Tai Chi.

Taron Egerton is the last moviestar. Who can honestly say they have played in not one but two biopics before they are 30 years old. And he is friends with the greatest musical artist of all time Sir Elton John.

Ben Stiller in “DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story” White Goodman has a gym that body-shames people, and he has some rather gross and weird habits, too. The movie may be a comedy, but he’s not the kind of guy you’d want to play Dodgeball with.

Sam Neil too

Yeah! Also, as for Hugh Grant playing a villain. I liked him better as Forge Fitzwilliam in "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Villains". Also, there's the Actors who play the Armitage family in "Get out" Bradley Whitford (Who played Mr. Armitage) Was best known for his comedy work, especially as Jake Peralta's father in "Brooklyn Nine Nine". Catherine Keener (Mrs. Armitage) was known for playing protagonists, particularly in "The 40 year old Virgin" and "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lighting Thief" And Then there's Allison Williams, who played Rose; She was one of the protagonists on Lena Dunham's "Girls". Also, On the animated side There's: Kate McKinnon as Lulu the Guinea Pig in "DC: League of Super Pets" (Mckinnon was mainly known for playing off the wall funny characters in comedy films before this villainous turn) Chris Pine as King Magnifico in Disney's "Wish" (Chris Pine mainly played charming and likable good guys before this role) John Mulaney as Big Jack Horner in "Puss In Boots: The Last Wish". (Not all of Mulaney's roles may be straight up good guys, but this role showed him at his most villainous and unrestrained) Olivia Coleman as PAL in "The Mitchells Vs. The Machines". (She never played villains at all before this one)

​@@travistucker4067 His role in Peaky Blinders is FANTASTIC. He really makes you hate him.

Legends never die ✊♥

and he almost steal Kate Winslet from Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

He was fantastic in that film!

@@WilliamTheMovieFan definitely it’s one of my favorites

I completely agree with you.....

As soon as I heard Robin Williams plays a villain, I had to watch it.

Yeh that was shocking

Well said.

ZANGIEF IS A IDIOT!

PLUS zangief was NEVER a bad guy IN THE STREET FIGHTER GAMES! he was a henchman in the movie and animated series!

plus that whole Wreck it ralph is SO GIMMICKLY!

Zangief to Deejay in the street fighter live action movie you got paid 🤦

He was truly disturbing in that role. He laid a foundation that will forever change how the Joker is portrayed, maybe ruining the role for anyone else. But as great as that role was, it wasn’t worth the damage it did to his mental health in the end. RIP Heath. 😞🙏

He was great in Law and Order as well.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a good shout, but I would suggest in Nightcrawler

@@kix783 Havn't seen Nightcrawler but heard he was great in it

Daniel Day Lewis killed it as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York. As well as Christian Bale in American Psycho! Always remember it's "Hip to be Square".

Jack Black voiced Bowser in the new Mario movie so that counts as a villainous role

@@calebbusing6171 Yeah but Bowser was more of an animated voice role for Jack Black so I picked King Kong as Carl Denham was his first live action villain role.

I've seen "A Face in the Crowd." Great movie, and a dynamic performance by Griffith, but he's definitely NOT playing the roles of either the friendly and lovable Sheriff Andy Taylor or the folksy but cantankerous Attorney Ben Matlock in that movie.

Griffith was also the villain in a comedy movie called "Spy Hard".

Andy also played a bad guy in the movie Savages. A great role for a good guy

I remember he played a stalker in that one movie. I forgot what it was called, but he scared the crap out of me. I wish he did more roles like that before he died.

@@kamsismith 8:03 It was mentioned in this video.

Oh.

Sy the photo guy......

Honestly tho

I finally found it. Now who's going to stop me?

Hanks was a mob enforcer/hitman.

@@slowanddeliberate6893 Yeah, but he’s not a villain.

Woody vs Hudson Hornet

@@Dupontman627 Who is Hudson Hornet again?

@@SolCresta3405 former Piston Cup champion in Cars (2006)

I think Tom Hanks perfectly fits that role when it came to his character in Toy Story.

Mcjuggernuggets

Carrey has two big villain roles: Count Olaf in "A Series of Unfornate events" and Dr. Robotnick in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" Films"

@@MandMWeekly Never said he doesn't play Villians, it's just hard picturing him as one, since usually always plays The Hero.

Jim Carrey will also be remembered as the riddler of batman forever.

Also Sean William Scott in the sequel

Thanks for watching!

also... as Dr Robotnik(aka Dr Eggman) from every Sonic movie!

And the creepiest bad guy ever in Dexter

Don't forget Lord Farquaad in Shrek.

And also Blow Out with John Travolta. Great movie.

Don't forget Rupert Grint as Redmond in M. Night Shamalyan's "A Knock at the Cabin"

Daniel Radcliffe also plays the villainous billionaire Tressler in the movie Now You See Me 2.

He didn't Murder his wife. It was accidental. She hit her head after he pushed her during an argument.

Perhaps, but Rebecca will always be the voice of WatchMojo. Many viewers will only watch the videos she voices over, so that suggestion may not go over well.

@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 Oh, I agree - she's the queen of the channel, and I'm always happy when I hear it's her.

Sure thing!

@@WatchMojo Yay!!!!!

After Richard Widmark played a psychopathic killer in a movie my mother saw, she hated him with a passion, despite him playing the role of a good guy in any other movie.

I still think he deserved a mention for playing Elvis' shady and scheming manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in the "Elvis" Biopic.

Yeah but tom hank's character was not evil. He was a mob enforcer but was never painted as the villain. Jude law and paul Newman were the villains. And Daniel Craig too technically

There*

His appearance on Law and Order SVU was creepily evil too.
