50 People List Actors Who Were Such ‘Perfectly Hateable’ Villains, They Can’t Stand Them In Any Other Films
Joffrey Baratheon from “Game of Thrones,” or Mrs. Umbridge from “Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix” (and later books and films) are all examples of characters so detested that they make readers and viewers' blood boil. Sometimes this emotion transcends the screen and we begin to forget where the character ends and the actor begins.
One internet user wanted to know what actors portrayed a villain so effectively that people could no longer see them as anything else. The results were illuminating, so sit down and be sure to upvote your favorites as you read through people’s answers. Remember to comment your own examples if you didn’t see it here.

For me, it’s Joffrey Baratheon played by Jack Gleeson.
poopface41217 replied:
The ironic thing is I read Jack Gleeson is one of the kindest people and is active in volunteer efforts. I watched an interview where his co-star Sophie Turner said he was the greatest guy.

Do someone really think actors who play villains are terrible people in real life?

Imelda Staunton, Mrs Umbridge in Harry Potter.
forbiddenmemeories replied:
Honestly the biggest challenge for any new HP series is going to be matching the casting of the movies. Imelda Staunton is one of many who was absolutely perfect for her character and it's going to be hard to buy anyone else in the role.
Lunavixen15 replied:
I can't unsee Umbridge as her, even after reading the books again. She encapsulated Umbridge so well.

John Lithgow was so terrifying in Dexter that I kept expecting him to murder somebody in The Great British Bake Off.
Hollywood has a long track record of typecasting certain actors in specific roles. This is pretty prevalent among character actors who people can only see in one role. The cast of Star Trek, particularly the original series, struggled with this issue for the rest of their careers. For example, Nichelle Nichols who played translator and communications officer Uhura, believed that the role so defined her as an actress that no one was willing to hire her for anything else.
Star Trek seemed to be particularly cursed, as even established actors of stage and screen ended up “stuck” with connections to the show. Sir Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Picard in “The Next Generation” was turned down from a role because the director thought Picard overshadowed the actor. It’s worth noting that Sir Patrick Stewart has decades of experience and was and is a fully respected actor in his own right, yet still ended up typecast by this one role.

Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian. When I saw Giancarlo Esposito in Community, I just about sh*t myself in fear.

Sam Rockwell in Green Mile was so disgusting and off-putting and perfect in his role that I still don’t like to look at him.

Iwan Rheon as Ramsay Bolton. I tell a lie as he was so cute in Vicious as Ash Weston.
sporkabork replied:
He freaked me out so much as Ramsay Bolton that I’m pretty sure I’d cross the street if I happened to see him out walking around. That’s a good actor.

100% true for me. l cannot stand this guy now and refuse to watch anything he's in.

Again, he did such a good job playing Ramsey. The whole world hated him!
It seems like the inability to see an actor as separate from the character is just as present among casting directors as the audience. John Hamm, of Mad Men fame, recalled getting basically only pitches for films and shows set in the 1960s or about advertising. Despite his range, one excellent performance was enough to force him into the same role over and over again, with diminishing results and, no doubt, motivation.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List.

Jack Nicholson did such a good job as Jack Torrance that he gives me the creeps every time I see his face now.
Stephanie Did It 1 year ago
He's always given me the creeps, no matter what role he played, because of his dead eyes. He may be a great actor and certainly has earned a lot of praise and prestige, but those emotionless eyes never change.
There are historical examples of this as well. Soviet actor Mikheil Gelovani played Stalin no less than twelve times, which perhaps wasn’t quite as challenging range-wise, but the pressure to portray the murderous Premier of the Soviet Union no doubt added a certain level of difficulty. Regardless, both Khrushchev’s de-Stalinization and the idea that Gelovani could not depict “mere mortals” after playing Stalin all led to him being denied any other roles.

Tom Felton reportedly gets a ton of hate for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series.
trisharae_88 replied:
But also a super chill dude in real life.
Some actors actually end up “bonding” with a character so deeply that they begin to do public appearances as them. Clayton Moore, best known as the Lone Ranger, liked being the masked, former Texas ranger so much that Jack Wrather, who actually owned the rights to the character, had to issue a cease and desist letter. The dispute was ultimately resolved and Moore would continue to go out in public as the ranger.

Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and as Kai Winn in "Deep Space Nine".
LitherLily replied:
She is excellent at playing the villain. You are helpless against the tide of hate that washes over you.
#15
Lena Headey in GOT. She's actually super nice when I've seen interviews but damn she was too perfect as Cersei.
Ultimately, more creative directors will try to play “against type” by taking an actor best known for a specific genre or role and casting them in something very different. Bruce Willis was mainly known for romcoms before his career-making time in “Die Hard,” while rapper Ice-T was an unusual, but inspired choice for a police detective in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”
#16
Rosamund Pike played a sociopath so perfectly in *Gone Girl* that I have only recently been able to watch shows or movies that she is in.

I don’t hate him but after watching Primal Fear and American History X if I saw Edward Norton in a dark alley I’d turn around and walk the other way.

Kathy Bates in Misery. It makes me sad because she is a great actress, but I can't get past it.

For me it's kinda opposite. She's usually the likeable character and when l watch Misery is just admiration at how good she is.
#21
Samuel L Jackson in Django Unchained. DiCaprio had a certain insane charisma to him in that movie, not Jackson. Perfectly portrays someone who sold out their own.
#22
Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. I watched No Country for Old Men in the theater and studiously avoided Javier Bardem until last year when I watched Dune. He’s a great actor; otherwise, Anton Chigurh wouldn’t have mentally scarred me for a decade.

Also as Silva in Skyfall. Scarily sympathetic, but after that one scene, it's hard to look him in the face.

I remember Paul Reiser being on a talk show many years ago after he was in the movie Aliens. He talked to Jay Lemon or whoever it was about how he was doing standup once and before he even started people were booing him because they hated that character so much. He said something to the host along the lines of “they realize I’m not actually that guy, right?”
The Original Bruno 1 year ago
I was so torn about which Paul Reiser to see his character as when he starred in later seasons of Stranger Things. EXCELLENT casting.
#24
Tobias Menzies who played Capt Randall on Outlander. Every movie and film he is in, I always hope his character dies. I think I would spit on him if I saw him in real life. He's actually really nice guy but was so good in his role that I just hate him.

Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter and as Colonel William Tavington in The Patriot.
Gotta say, he excels at portraying despicable villains.

I've never seen her in anything but The Office, but it's always such a mind‐f**k when I see an interview or something with Angela Kinsey and she's smiling and seems somewhat likeable.
I got to meet her at a convention once, and she is incredibly sweet IRL. So are Oscar Nuñez and Brian Baumgartner.
I went to the convention dressed as Dwight and, when it was time for my picture with Angela, she exclaimed “Dwight!” Then she told me she was going to go “full Angela” for the photo, and she did.
GonzoThompson replied:
Brian was extra careful to make sure I got all the photos I wanted with him. We had already taken three or so when he asked me if I was sure I got everything I wanted with him.

Chace Crawford as The Deep in The Boys. I see him in actor interviews and get the heebie-jeebies even though I know it’s just a character.

Doug Hutchison (Percy Wetmore in The Green Mile). Although I haven't seen him in much since, Lost being the only thing that comes to mind. He has some real-life issues though as well, having married a 16-year-old when he was 51.

Kirsten Dunst as Amy in 1994’s Little Women. I will never forgive her for burning that manuscript. Then her character grew up married Laurie?! What. A. B***h.
#41
Major Frank Burns from M*A*S*H, His lack of empathy and overall ego made me hate the guy. They tried a couple of times expressing on why he came out the way he did...but it just wasn't enough. Always getting in the way of Hawkeye treating patients, leading on Hotlips, and just being an overall shithead the way he treated the locals in Korea. That being said Robert Duvall did a great job.

I actually had this issue this morning. I was watching Breaking Bad and Jesse's AA leader was on. Perfectly softly spoken gentle man. Hate him on sight. Had to Google him.

No, Billy Bob Thornton is ALWAYS creepy as hell, even when playing the good guys. The fact that he could be a good guy ("Pushing Tin," for instance) when being so creepy is a testament to his acting skills.

God he was so good in this role. The period of time when Charles thought Dwight was a reasonable person was perfect. So well done.

I always hated Steve Zahn, but I couldn't put my finger on why. It was because he was such a convincing s**t in "Riding in Cars with Boys." I almost forgot about the movie entirely and him being in it, but my impression of him stayed.

I'm usually OK watching actors in nasty roles, especially if they're in multiple movies or TV shows. That said, 3 actors creep me out on ANY role: Andrew Scott (due to his Moriarty in UK's Sherlock), Michael Emerson (due to his Linus in Lost) & Alan Cumming (due to a tiny role in a movie I can't remember). These days I avoid movies or shows if any of them stars. Such a shame, but the creep factor is too much.

Also adding Alice Eve from "Decoy Bride". It wasn't that she played a villain, but that her acting was SO awful I can't stand her in anything else. She was in the 2nd Night at the Museum movie but also in the Benedict Cumberbatch/Chris Pine star Trek movie and all I could think was "get off my screen lady."

Most of these were just they sucked in these films, not that because of those parts you cannot watch them in anything else. Most of them the person named had a huge previous great works resume, so suddenly hating on them would be hard for many. My Two are: Alan Cumming is and will always be the first on my list. His role in Circle of Friends was so horrid, that the whole cinema shuddered every time he appeared on screen, again could not watch him in anything else, then shows like Instinct and The Good Wife changed all of that. Jason Alexander in Pretty Woman...I could not watch Seinfeld for a long time because I did not want to see him, not only did I end up a fan of "George" but I love him in other movies and listen to his podcast and follow him on social media. Hating someone so much in something shows that they did their job, that their talent is fantastic, and that you felt all the feels you were meant to :)
