Actually that is a brilliant list. My immediate thought was Christopher Walken, he plays the bad guy much better than the good guy IMO

Timothy Carey -

.

Al Lettieri -

.

M Emmet Walsh wants a glory hole in this wall right now damn it -

.

J T Walsh played a great sniveling bad guy -

.

Joe Don Baker could swing both ways -

.

Joe Spinell could pull off a greasy NY villian easily -

Rutger Hauer (awesome in "The Hitcher" and "Blade Runner")

De Niro of course (Cape Fear, Angel Heart)

Christopher Walken in anything.

one of the best

I think the point of the thread was to show actors that played villains exclusively or were almost always cast as the villain. DeNiro or Walken (while great as villains) probably do not fall into that group.

Glad someone posted Spinell. Excellent character actor. I've seen Maniac at midnight screenings in Boston several times.

Alan Rickman is a great villain, Hans Gruber, Sheriff of Nottingham, Snape, etc.

Timothy Carey -

.

Tim Carey is legendary. Guy 'shot' Coppola during a test for Godfather II. He didn't get the part.

Then Brion could be excluded from the list, has played good guys on numerous occasions although his best work was definitely as an 80's bad guy
