It's hard for an actor to establish himself among thousands of others who are all trying to make a name for themselves in show business, and even the most distinguished, well known actors who have been in some of the greatest movies in history have hammed it up in front of the camera out of desperation, a fat paycheck, momentary insanity, or any combination of the three. Below are 10 great, well-known actors who chewed so much scenery as crappy movie villains that they're probably still suffering from lockjaw.
10) Frank Langella as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe
Frank Langella has won a buttload of Tony awards, played Dracula in 1979, and recently received critical acclaim and a slew of nominations for playing Richard Nixon in Frost/Nixon. Check out this picture of Frankie L.!
Look at him. That man is a class act, all distinguished looking and whatnot. Some critics felt that Langella was robbed of a best actor Oscar win. I, meanwhile, feel that the moviegoing public is being robbed of a re-release of Langella's best role to date, that of...
...motherfuckin' Skeletor in Masters of the Universe. Seriously, that's really Frank Langella as Skeletor, starring opposite Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Courtney Cox as Girl Who Just Got Back from a Springsteen Concert. Apparently the movie was supposed to take place entirely on Grayskull, but due to budget constraints the movie producers decided to have most of the movie take place on a cheapo soundstage on Earth, leaving Langella to scheme and shoot lightning bolts at his minions from a separate dimension. Although getting impeached and later disgraced in front of millions during a series of TV interviews is a pretty raw deal, it's still not as bad as getting kicked down a pit by Ivan Drago.
9) Christian Bale as Walter Wade Jr. in Shaft
Christian Bale is arguably the Internet generation's biggest movie star. Adored by males and females, young and old, Bale has immersed himself into iconic movie roles like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, a magician with a grudge in The Prestige, and, of course, the Dark Knight himself. It's all the more alarming, then, that such a talented and serious actor could have such a big misstep by starring as the villain in Shaft (shut yo mouth!). Bale plays Walter Wade Jr., the son of a "real estate tycoon" who commits a racially motivated murder. Of course, Samuel L. Jackson (playing the titular Shaft, of course) takes it upon himself to open a can of whoop ass on this douchey cracka. The movie received middling reviews and but earned a decent take at the box office -- we mainly look at Bale's role in a disapproving parent, "You can do so much better" sort of way.
8) James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian
Possessing quite possibly the most distinguishable voice in movie history, James Earl Jones has been in acclaimed films like Dr. Strangelove and The Great White Hope, and his booming voice unmistakably appears in various Star Wars movies and The Lion King. He's been around long enough (the man's 78 years old!) that probably even he's forgotten that he starred as the villain in Conan the Barbarian, way back in 1982 (before a good chunk of you nerds were even born). Jones played Thulsa Doom, a warlord who made the mistake of massacring Arnold Schwarzenegger's tribe. As the titular barbarian, Ahnuld takes it upon himself to emit guttural noises and prance around sporting a loin cloth and an oily sheen, yet somehow it's still more embarrassing watching James Earl Jones in the film.
7) Michael Caine as Michael Jennings in On Deadly Ground
Michael Caine is a six-time Oscar nominee and two-time winner. He's been in more good movies than you've probably seen, and recently he's been pulling in some nice paychecks as Alfred in the recent Batman installments. For someone as seemingly classy as Caine, it's a bit surprising to hear that not only has he co-starred with Clive Owen, Christian Bale, Charlize Theron, and other distinguished actors, he's also acted opposite Steven Seagal. That's right, Michael Caine starred as the villain in Seagal's directorial debut, the environmental "lesson" movie On Deadly Ground. Caine played Michael Jennings, a corrupt oil company CEO who learns the hard way that he should take better care of Mother Earth. I'd make fun of Michael Caine some more for his seemingly poor decision to act in a action movie about oil spills, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a shit. After all, he was in Jaws: The Revenge... playing a dude named "Hoagie."
6) Raul Julia as Bison in Street Fighter
A distinguished Latino actor, Raul Julia was a SAG, Golden Globe, and Emmy award winner, and he received critical acclaim for his role in Kiss of the Spider Woman. Sadly, Raul died of a cancer-related stroke in 1994, two months before the release of his final motion picture role as M. Bison in Street Fighter. Not only was this video game adaptation a cringe-inducing disappointment (c'mon, U.S. Army Colonel Guile played by the "muscles from Brussels"?), it's sad watching an alarmingly sickly and gaunt-looking Raul attempt to portray the towering and imposing Bison.

Compared to his role as the villain in waterworld, playing bowser wasnt such a bad idea. I would take the mario bros movie over waterworld any day.
That guy again... said:
I never realised that was Frank Langella! But he was by far the best thing in that movie.
DavidReyes87 said:
I initially thought of Raul Julia when I saw the name of your list. Even as a child it confused me as much as the choice of Van Damme being Guile.
I am very surprised not to see Ben Kingsley's role in Bloodrayne on this list. Seeing the trailer for that movie blew my mind (in a bad way) when I saw him in it.
Stonecrow said:
Or Ben Kingsley in The Love Guru... Wait, when has Ben Kingsley been in a good movie?
Hombretubes said:
A very badly written list with lots of cringe-inducing jokes. For shame.
Amanda said:
I haven't seen half of these movies. I feel like a total noob. I have seen Mario Bros, Street Fighter, and Dungeons&Dragons- but that's about it.
I didn't even know there was a Masters Of The Universe movie. But, I believe I did see some of it when I was little.
I have to agree- these villains are full of le crap.
( I read the title wrong at first- I thought you said Creepy. You should do a 10 Incredibly Creepy Movie Villains list! :D )
Marc M said:
"Or Ben Kingsley in The Love Guru... Wait, when has Ben Kingsley been in a good movie?"
Ghandi and Sneakers, that was about it
Endroren said:
" Ben Kingsley's role in Bloodrayne "
Oh yeah, I gotta throw in a vote for that one as well.
Also, what about Jack Palance in Hawk the Slayer?
tmaccurt79 said:
Ben Kingsley was in Schindler's List too.
Good to see Iron's won. I D&D in the theater and it's still the worst movie I paid money to see.
varrior said:
"Or Ben Kingsley in The Love Guru... Wait, when has Ben Kingsley been in a good movie?"
... Gandhi?
mojo said:
Conan does not belong on this list.
Anonymous said:
What about Ben Kingsley as the bad-guy in the Thunderbirds movie?! He should be all over this list or have a list all his own.
Elsa said:
How about John Travolta in Battlefield Earth?
Wings (Caffeinated Joe) said:
Truly some bad acting choices. Guess when all you are thinking about is the paycheck, you deserve the bad rap! Good list! :)
Frito said:
Those who make fun of the Pax Bisonica will be punished.
Dok Industrial said:
re: Ben Kingsley--
I'm pretty sure Ben Kingsley has simply decided to test the upper limits of actor career resiliency. he won an Oscar for Gandhi and has turned in highly acclaimed performances in movies like Schindler's list, Sexy Beast, and the Wackness. He's also done 'movies' like Bloodrayne, the Love Guru, and Species.
And the kicker--they're all spread out over his career (unlike actors like, say, De Niro, who did all of their quality work when they were young and now seem to specialize exclusively in crap).
Yes...the more I think about it, the more I realize that Ben Kingsley is a mad pimp.
rj472 said:
What about Samuel Jackson as The Octopus in The Spirit? I rented it from the Redbox and feel I paid way too much to see it at even a dollar. They owe me for watching it.
chad said:
cool list though i would have had skeletor at number three for that is proably the main reason no new motu film is coming. and jeremy irons in dungeons and dragons wonder what his agent told him to get him to sign up or was he on something for most on this list had to be on something.

--Still, Palance's utterly undisguised contempt for the gilm and his fellow "actors" made for one hell of an MST3K episode.

Crabtree said:
Ben Kingsley made a great Watson against Michael Caine's Holmes in "Without a Clue".
Hachiko said:
And what about Ben Kingsley in A Sound of Thunder?
Sir Kingsley maintains true balance in the universe for releasing a steaming turd for every brilliant performance.
Jesse said:
I think that much like Christopher Walken, Ben Kingsley just loves to work, and doesn't take himself too seriously. Yeah, he's been in some truly horrible films. But he can still turn in inspired, amazing performances ... see "Sexy Beast," "House of Sand and Fog" ... he was even great as the vice-prez in "Dave"!
James said:
I'm still trying to figure out how this list segues "from Alfred to Batman" from 9 to 10. Did Frank Langella play Bruce Wayne's butler in an alternate reality?
FELL said:
Man, not to forget Sean Connery.
You guys know Sean Connery right? So, he was the villain Sir August de Wynter in The Avengers. They made him wear a giant teddy-bear costume.
Also, you got Mickey Rourke in Double Team as the evil Stavros. A flick staring Van Damme and Dennis Rodman and cyber-monks...
ClancyDamon said:
@rj472
That's probably true for the movie as a whole, but is Sam "Motherfuckin'" Jackson ever bad in anything? Also considering he seems to show up in damn near everything? I saw Snakes on a Plane at the theater (yeah, I know) but it wasn't all bad because Sam Jackson takes crap and rolls with it.
To that end, I'd argue against Raul Julia on this list. Sure, the movie was horrible (for me, so bad it's good), but Raul did a god damned good job of lending credibility to such a stupid role. Frankly he saved M. Bison from being a crappy villain. I mean, come on! "For me, it was a Tuesday."
ABS said:
Also Kingsley in Sexy Beast
bort said:
The Super Mario Bros. movie sucked eggs, but no one can disagree with the fact that Bob Hoskins makes the perfect Mario.
Kay said:
My first thoughts were Jim Carrey as The Riddler and John Malkovich as what's-his-name in Eragon.
Horrible movies, great list.
millsy said:
I read an article about Hopper a couple of years back where he said he was so coked up filming Mario Bros., that he forgot he was in it until he got a royalty check for it years later.
LAY said:
Good list.
But Hopper and Irons could have filled up all 10 by themselves... which then begs the question, why are those two 'distinguished' actors again?
Yakko said:
I thought for sure we'd see some Schumacher Batman villians. But I guess that's just beating a dead horse.
I'd like to nominate Patrick Stewart in the movie Masterminds. Truly horrific movie.
LBD "Nytetrayn" said:
I love the Super Mario Bros. movie, strangely enough. It's funny, in that it shows a lot of love towards the concepts from the games, but in totally different ways. Like a true alternate universe.
And Julia as Bison never ceases to amuse me. He makes Street Fighter, and I still enjoy watching it to this day, mostly for his part in it.
theotherjason said:
Didn't Julia only do street fighter because his children asked him to take the role?
And on a more personal note: Ray Liotta grew up in my town and came back to visit my high school back in the 90s. He was obvisouly high as a kite and acted like a huge asshole to any student that came up to him. Many teachers I had either went to school with or taught him and confirmed he was a total dick as a student as well.
scortia said:
Jeremy was actually asked in an interview why he made Dungeons and Dragons. His answer basically that he had a castle to pay for. He pointed out he's not a Pacino-like actor, just obsessed with the craft completely,... no he doesn't have standards, he just wants to get a paycheck sometimes.
Jack Burden said:
Thulsa Doom is kickass and I don't even particulaly like that movie. Also, why no lady love? How about Faye Dunaway in Supergirl? Or Kathleen Turner in Baby Geniuses?
Billy Gillispie said:
Good list -- but what about Dustin Hoffman has Captain Hook in "Hook?" He's great; that movie was awful, and he was awful in it.
Mr Belding said:
Sir Michael Caine was once asked "Have you actually SEEN Jaws 4?" to which he replied...
"No, but I have seen the house it bought."
Legend.
Matt said:
Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face in Batman Forever. Hands down.
Anonymous said:
What about Christopher Walken in Balls of Fury and Samuel L. Jackson in The Spirit? Or do they not count seeing as they'll both take a role in any movie thrown at them?
RazDaz said:

JimmPL said:
Walken was wonderful in Balls of Fury, it was a farce to begin with.
Kingsley was in Lucky Number Slevin which was completely ignored by almost everyone, but is a brilliant movie.
MarkTwain'sGhost said:
Wait, let me get this straight. You think Conan the Barbarian is a bad movie? Man, that is straight up crazy! Conan is probably the best fantasy movie ever made. James Earl Jones was bad ass and the sound track is legendary. Plus, who else could ever play a better Conan then Arnold? Amazing flick.
ZeroCorpse said:
First, I liked Langella in Masters of the Universe.
But I must say that Danny DeVito as The Penguin, Arnold as Mr. Freeze, Uma as Poison Ivy, Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, Jim Carrey as The Riddler, and whoever the hell that was as Bane in the Batman 1989 sequels... Well, they ALL sucked. ALL of them. Every moment of every scene. They were all chewing on the scenery like it was made of Jack Links Jerky. Their lines might well have all been "nom nom nom!"
Add to that the wasted use of Walken as Max Shreck (he should have been Scarecrow, dammit) and the contrived Pfeifer-in-latex as a secretary who was pushed out a window and landed in kitty litter, and so became Catwoman with no explanation as to where her skills came from... Well, everything Batman from 1989 until Batman Begins was utter crap.
Sappy404 said:
I was certain Orson Welles as Unicron in Transformers would be #1. Even if you're not counting animated bad guys, that's a hell of a low for such an accomplished actor.
J169 said:
They did it for the money!
David Klecker said:
Forgot John Lithgow from Cliffhanger. Lithgow is an accomplished actor and was probably the only actor who could have made the villian in Cliffhanger interesting. Past that, awful lines and some over-acting (sorry Lithgow) make for a rather embarassingly bad villian.
Madman said:
My #1 vote for a great actor as a crappy villian is Marlon Brando as the title character in The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). Unbelievably bad monster makeup didn't distract from the wreched script. Maybe he thought playing the lead in a classic H. G. Wells story was a good move, maybe he needed the money.
Lor said:
... D:
I remember the Mario Bros. movie...
YOSHI... HAUNTS MY DREAMS.
JesseMXGangl said:
I was one of the few who saw "In the Name of the King," and there was a surprising preponderance of decent actors in it: Statham, Claire Forlani, John Rhys-Davies (though he does some awful SyFy stuff), Ron Pearlman, Leelee Sobieski, Burt Reynolds. I don't know what any of them were thinking other than "paycheck."
The closest metaphor I can find for the movie was that it resembled a car accident that was so bad it somehow reached critical mass and started to mess with the laws of physics drawing in exponentially more cars devastating minds for miles in all directions.
Big Bad Booty Daddy said:
You went with Skeletor? No fucking way dude! You are on Crack? The villains in the MOTU movie rocked. It was the good guys that sucked balls.
How about Jigsaw from The latest Punisher movie? That was god awful.
How about Bane from Batman and Robin?
How about that thing with the tongue in House of the dead?
All of those were worse than Skeletor. Langella rules. This list sucks.

You forgot about Al Pacino in Dick Tracy...
Steven fitzpatrick said:
I agree the guy that played bowser wasnt that bad. He wasnt to bad for water world either. Now for James Earl Jones he was awesome voice acter for darth vador, but not a villain actor.
Erczilla said:
James Earl Jones was awesome in Conan! That movie is amazing too! I agree with all of the list except that glaring error!

Morgan Freeman in Dreamcatcher. I've never seen a better actor so reduced by the material to gibbering idiocy. God, that's a bad movie.

Travolta in Punisher for shizzle.

Charles Dance in Space Truckers.

How about Ray Liotta in that Wild Hogs movie with Tim the Tool Man Taylor
Reverend Ender said:
Sorry, but Masters of the Universe is an awesome movie. James Tolkan as Det. Lubic makes it. Also, did you know Lundgren has sever doctorates and speaks like 7 languarges?
On another note, why not Robert DeNiro as Fearless Leader in Rocky and Bullwinkle. I didn't see it, but from what I hear it was pretty godawful.
Sampras, Maravich, Rose and Townshend said:
James Earl Jones in Conan The Barbarian was full on evil, decapitations aplenty. A chic could never appreciate this.
Sorry but this list falls short of expectations of basic mediocrity, many of these roles were intentionally cheesy but I guess labeling something as Incredibly Crappy kind of speaks to the laziness of the article.
Maybe its time for you to admit Rebecca, that writing is just a hobby for you and one that you should either take a little more seriously or just limit it to writing an anonymous blog about all the nuances in Twilight.

AND CONAN ROCKED. YOU ARE DUMB
Craig said:
Hey Sampras et al, yeah, and your quips about the writer being a femme are so fucking witty. No need to be a douche, man. And for the rest of you guys, yeah, Conan was a fun movie. It's a personal fav, but it's high camp. We're talking James Earl Jones here - the man has performed one of the finest fucking King Lears ever recorded.
dvilla said:
Are you out of your mind?? James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom is one of the greatest movie villains of all time. "They shall all drown in lakes of Blood. Now they will know why they are afraid of the Dark. Now they will learn why they fear the Night."
You, Miss Kelley, are a hack writer and a very poor judge of film.
ggg said:
was that dr. cox in On Deadly ground?
figtakari said:
Come on everyone .....no one saw fit to include Marlon Brando on this list. The man arguably gave one of the most iconic performances of all time as Vito Corleone....then he goes and plays Dr. Moreau in the 1996 remake.... man, i couldn't look at the Godfather the same way anymore !! epic fail.
marcseveral said:
It's been said, but yes, Conan is a fine movie.
You got Sean Connery in the Avengers. Change your number one immediately.
Okay, you won't, but seriously. list over.
ana_hahn said:
Owing to such background of Langella,
that incarnation of Skeleton suddenly got
so uncanny... He wears a mask though...
Crim said:
John Malkovichin in Eragon
Orson Welles as Unicron in Transformers
Donald Pleasants was in Puma Man
hmmmm....
though i guess for its time Transformers wasnt too bad
no further points will be awarded
Conan was a great movie!
forget what I said:
Nice list, but incomplete.

Dude seriously. If you are going to bitch about the He-Man movie at least get it right. you said "Apparently the movie was supposed to take place entirely on Grayskull" it's not Grayskull the world is Eternia.

Very nice list, Conan is probably one of the best movie of the 80, james Earl Jones is very cool on it.

@Reverend Ender - Rocky & Bullwinkle is no classic, but better than the haters would have you believe.
Anyone who could hate the Taxi Driver reference in that movie is not your friend.

Where is Travolta. Battlefeild Earth and The Punisher should have enought for this list.

I thought they would have included Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor in Superman.

jeremy irons is a fairly good actor and he is respected but he does tend to appear in absolutely anything,.. hes either totally shameless or just has a terrible agent ;)

I do think Raul Julia is the saddest one as this Street Fighter was his last role ever.

Anyone want to second my nomination for Malcolm McDowell in Doomsday? Or Malcolm McDowell in Tank Girl? Or Malcolm McDowell in Cyborg 3?

What about John Malkovich as the ham-tastic villain in Eragon? Unfortunately, calling Malkovich a "great actor" anymore is kind of generous, but at one time...
Josh said:
You missed a few:
Ben Kingsley: Bloodrayne
Christopher Plummer: Dragnet (horrible spoof film)
Tommy Lee Jones: Batman Forever
John Voight: Anaconda
Then again, I'm sure I missed a few...
RiddleOfSteel said:
Seriously? Thulsa Doom is on this list? WTF?
Kim said:
Why is Thulsa Doom on here? I saw Conan at the theater when I was young, that movie was the bomb back when it came out. Whoever wrote this should be ashamed to call themselves a writer, and never write anything on the internet again.
Ubalstecha said:
As someone else has mentioned, Malkovitch as Galbatorix in Eragon. He has been menacing and terrifying in many a movie, yet in he was the biggest turd in that movie.
pumpkinguts said:
I have to agree with many people here who say James Earl Jones does not belong on this list, he was great and so was Andre the Giant as the monster who gets his horn ripped off.
Suck it said:
I liked the Mario bros. movie, In the name of the kink and D&D so you all can STFU
forester said:
The first D&D movie sucked, but the 2nd sucked more. Too bad considering the possibilities with a big budget and cool concept to play with. Probably started out with a good script which was massacred by studio writers.
Just throwing that out there because I really wanted it to be cool when it came out, and it wasn't.
Ramone said:
I think one of the definitive awesome actors as terrible bad guys has to be Gary Oldman in Fifth Element. That hair, the whole costume. The weird southern lisp. He played the baddie in the Lost in Space movie too, but his character was one of the best parts of that film. And that film was crap all around.
Lucky for his career as a baddass he knocked it out of the park as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies.
Lee Ziegler said:
Don't forget Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon, although I'm still trying.

D1ckBasterdly said:
Street Fighter was decidedly terrible but I enjoyed Raul Julia. Definitely not his best work...or even that great...but look at the rest of the "cast"...he was the high point of that film, if that tells you anything about it
wodenaz said:
I accidentally saw 'In the name of the king'. Take my advice...life is too short to waste it on watching that shit. Okay I lied ...I fell asleep during some long speech Ray Liotta was saying..and woke up to see Jason Statham riding a horse. I got something to eat, read the paper...did some other stuff. This movie wasn't even advertised in my country. Try to get a really bad pirated copy of it where the camera falls while recording or the camera guy leaves and goes to a better movie. For those who are just curious...RAY LIOTTA GETS KILLED BECAUSE HE IS BAD AND A SICKO. JASON STATHAM KILLS LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH A FAKE SWORD AND BAD STUNTS. THE END CREDITS WAS MY FAVORITE PART.
Kar said:
Personally, Travolta doesn't qualify because I don't think he'd qualify as "a good actor" under any guidelines. Same thing with Nicholas Cage. No one's forgiven you for Ghost Rider, Con Air, or the last fifteen movies.
GNSargent said:
An oldie, 1939, that should be on this list - Humphrey Bogart in "The Oklahoma Kid". As for the film itself, it not only is an embarrassment for Bogart as villain "Whip" McCord, but also for James Cagney as Jim Kincaid (title role).
Kris said:
I strongly believe that John Travolta as Howard Saint in the first (let's not count the eighties movie) Punisher movie deserves to be on this list.

Ah come on, Masters of the Universe wouldn't have been nearly as awesome if Langella didn't play Skelletor. If anything, he should be credited with saving the movie!

Wtf! MoTU was an awesm movie back in the day, and stil is(in hindsight, Skeletor made that movie). And raul julia as bison was classic villain(crazy eyes, evil laugh?! Gotta love it!). The whole SF movie was so bad, it was good. As for Morgan Freeman as crap villain, I agree he definitely needs to be on this list(dreamcatcher or lucky number slevin anyone?)
In response to ben kingsleys lack of choice rolls in the last few years, check him out as a corrupt russian detective with a concious in Transsiberia. Obscure, yes, but its edge of your seat stuf. Just sayin.
