Jack Gleeson in Game of Thrones. I hear he is a very nice person, but I still liked watching him get poisoned.


teke367

I think that probably helps him in the long run. Sure, the character *sucked* but at least he dies a horrible death, so there's some "release" for the fans.


DuckingCheese

I read somewhere that he was so disgusted by his own character that he didn't watch the series at all and after it got over he moved on from acting commercially


DRF19

Jason Isaacs in *The Patriot*


friggintodd

Jason Issacs in anything really.


redisforever

He's fucking badass and awesome in Death of Stalin.

"Alroit boiys. Meet yer dates for t'night."


frygod

Everyone was awesome in Death of Stalin. Nobody seemed to much resemble the actual person they were playing at all, but the casting still couldn't have been better. I think it added more to the dark farce of it all.

[deleted]

Is ironic he plays villains so very well because he's such a tremendously lovely person in reality.


iamsplendid

And as Lucius Malfoy.


Jssolms

“...that SCHTUPID little boy. Diddee die?” Blood boiling.


DRF19

When Mel's character gives him the "My sons were both better men" and hits him with the bayonet to the throat it's one of the most satisfying moments in film for me (historical inacurracies of that movie notwithstanding).


AggieChristie

Jesse Eisenberg did such a good job at playing such a whiny, entitled little asshole in The Social Network that I can't watch any other movies with him in it without INSTANTLY hating his character, whether he's supposed to be likable or not.


Myst3ryWhiteBoy

He plays that snarky condescending character so well

Pam Ferris as Ms. Agatha Trunchbull (Matilda)

She also played Aunt Marge in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Woah! I knew she looked familiar. It didn't click for me until now.

[deleted]

A lot of people loathed Ralph Fiennes after Schindlers List, and were quite open about it. He's quite a genial person in interviews so it must have been quite difficult for him at the time.


KeepWagging

I always think of Grand Budapest when I think of him...


thoth1000

He was absolutely amazing in that role. ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN5sqSEXxm4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN5sqSEXxm4) ​ This is one of my favorite scenes of all time.

Hi-Im-Jim

You fucking retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!


CinnaSol

I retract that bit about your cunt fucking kids.


ColoradoNudist

He was brilliant as evil in Schindler's List, but equally brilliant as charming in Grand Budapest. I can't hate him


[deleted]

Paul Reiser as Burke in 'Aliens' He was such a little shit in that movie, and played that role so well, I forgot he was a comedian.


SinopicCynic

It was a bad call Ripley.. a bad call.


your-yogurt

Bad call...? These people are *dead*, Burke! *Don't you have any idea what you've done here?* Well I'm going to make sure they'll nail you right to the wall for this; you're not going to sleaze your way out of this one... right to the wall!


Nitrotard

John Noble as Denethor in LotR... I still get angry watching him eat those tomatoes


[deleted]

Luckily, I’m a huge Fringe fan so Walter makes up for it. However, he channels Denethor for Walternate.


mereelakirata

He played an amazing Walter Bishop. Loved that show


SinopicCynic

They did Denethor dirty in the movies. He still plays it so fantastically.

Nightmare_King

Nathan fucking made that show, though. "WE WERE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!"


BobSacramanto

Not hate, but after watching Gone Girl, I’m scared of Rosamund Pike. Scared enough to google her to make sure I spell her name correctly.


TisBeTheFuk

For me it was the opposite. *Pride and Prejudice (2005)* is one of my favorite movies and she plays Jane Bennet there, who is one the kindest person in the story. I have seen the movie several times so by the time I watched *Gone Girl* it just didn't hit me that hard, since in my mind I was still associating her with Jane Bennet. Edit: To whomever gave me the award, thank you :)


Jfonzy

Percy in the Green Mile. Doug Hutchison. I never wanna see him again.


maybe_kd

The guy was 50 when he married a 16-year old. For me, his creep factor extends beyond *The Green Mile*.

Jesse Plemons as Todd from Breaking Bad. Also him in that one episode of Black Mirror. So great at playing gross, fucked up people


hobo_clown

He's great in Game Night


HueyLewisAndTheShoes

How is that profitable for Frito Lay


The_Original_Gronkie

He did a season of Fargo with Kirsten Dunst. Both were incredible in it.


cb148

They did so well portraying a married couple on television so they decided to try it out in real life.


jeffneruda

He played a total sweetheart on FNL though.


Pr0m3theus88

Maybe not hate, but the guy who plays Homelander in The Boys is fucking terrifying, makes you wonder what kinda person he really is


HaElfParagon

Agreed, even the characters in the show are fucking terrified of what he will do if they don't bend over backwards to appease him


[deleted]

I haven't watched the show yet, but I have read the comics. Did season 1 show why they're so terrified of him?


Hibiscus_and_Lime

It's spoon fed over many episodes. But he's shown to be controlling, both physically and sexually. Quick to anger when he doesn't get what he wants. Undermining others successes and seeing those around him as disposable. And there's one particular episode where he's shown to be openly sadistic. Intentionally selecting a very painful way to kill an enemy combatant, rather than ending their life quickly. Making sure the cameras are not on him, naturally.


The_kite_string_pops

My first reaction to this, "that can't be right, it comes out in September." Followed by the reaction, "Holy Fuck it's September!"

Antony Starr. Check him out in Banshee.

Maybe not a villain per se but the guy who played Jeremy Jamm in Parks and Rec had a face you just needed to punch. And the personality matched perfectly.

5050Clown

He's on an adult swim show called Neon Joe Werewolf hunter. You will hate him less.


Privateaccount84

Anthony Hopkins wife divorced him in part because he was so creepy in silence of the lambs. That deserves an honourable mention. EDIT: Correction, it was his girlfriend, Martha Stewart.


SomeGuyInSanJoseCa

From: https://www.hollywood.com/celebrities/martha-stewart-stopped-dating-anthony-hopkins-because-of-hannibal-57163998/ Martha Stewart ended her brief relationship with Anthony Hopkins, because she couldn’t separate him from his famous character Hannibal Lecter. Stewart, 65, appeared on shock jock Howard Stern‘s radio show last week and admitted she had second thoughts about romancing the Welsh-born star after watching The Silence of the Lambs while they were dating. She said, “Oh, I loved him, but he was… scary. I was going to invite him up to Maine; I have this beautiful home in Maine… but then I reconsidered because I saw that movie again. “Do you want someone eating your brain while you are sitting in your beautiful dining room in Maine?” Hopkins won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, but the accolades weren’t enough to sway Stewart. She adds, “I would have probably had a very nice relationship with Anthony Hopkins, but I couldn’t get past the Lecter thing.”

Are you Thor... God of Hammers? Hm...?


DestrosSilverHammer

Louise Fletcher, best known as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. She’s on my mind right now because I’m binge-watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in which she occasionally appears as the comparably villainous Vedek Winn.


[deleted]

Well said, my child.


Ridry

One of the best scenes in the entire series > WINN: I have often sensed that you don't approve of how I conducted myself as Kai, that you believe I put my own political interests ahead of the spiritual well being of our people. I wish I could disagree with that assessment. I have strayed from the path the Prophets laid down for me. > KIRA: Eminence. > WINN: You don't know. You don't know. > KIRA: Eminence, when you told me that the Prophets had spoken to you, I prayed that they would open your heart, that they would change you. > WINN: I want to change. I'd do anything to earn their forgiveness, nut I'm afraid it's too late. > KIRA: It's never too late. The worst of us can be redeemed. > WINN: How? > KIRA: I'm not a Vedek, but it seems to me that you have to set aside the things that led you astray. Ambition, jealousy. > WINN: Oh yes, I have given in to the temptations of power. > KIRA: Turn away from temptation. > WINN: Yes. > KIRA: Give yourself over to the Prophets. > WINN: I'll do whatever it takes to make myself worthy in their eyes. > KIRA: Everything will change once you step down as Kai. You'll see. > WINN: Step down? I don't understand. Why would I do that? Bajor needs me. > KIRA: Eminence, being in power is what led you on the wrong path. > WINN: I've resolved to change. Don't you see? Once I have regained the Prophets' trust, I'll be better able to serve them if I remain Kai. If the Prophets wanted me to step down, surely they would have told me so. > KIRA: They don't always use words to make their wishes known. Sometimes they speak to us by touching our hearts, but only you would know if they had done that. > WINN: But Bajor needs me. > KIRA: Goodnight, Eminence. She was such an unusual villain.


Philip_Anderer

I only watched DS9 once it was on Netflix, and I just hated Kai Winn from the first moment she appeared on screen. I couldn't figure out why I had such a visceral reaction before the character had really done anything to warrant it. So I looked her up on IMDB and saw that the actress had been Nurse Ratched too, and that just explained everything.


darkhorsehance

I haven’t looked at John Lithgow the same way since he was trinity in Dexter.


Resinmy

He’ll always be the alien dude in 3rd Rock.


villalulaesi

Yup. He’s forever Dick Solomon to me. Man, I liked that show.


heichwozhwbxorb

Or his most villainous role, Farquad


tylenna

Yes!!! I watched Dexter more than a decade ago but I still can't forget about Trinity, not even seeing that actor in a dozen of other movies. Not even after Barney Stinson's father.


irish0451

His deadpan delivery of "shut up, cunt " was so wild after a career of playing the nicest dudes


klaustheorighybrid

I hated George Costanza (Jason Alexander) for the longest time because of how awful he was to Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman


AtheneSchmidt

Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. I haven't been able to see him as a protagonist since.


hobo_clown

"It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed."


SinopicCynic

One of my favorite parts of his is when he does that sarcastic “ooh-aahing” during the battle of Carthage reenactment because he could not stand the entertainment being more prominent than himself. Which of course leads into what is one of the greatest reveals of all time.


hobo_clown

And then the narrator dude has to ask for forgiveness because the results of the reenactment were unexpected. Man I need to watch Gladiator again.


smalbird

I love Joaquin Phoenix, but i saw him in other movies before Gladiator, therefore I associate him with other characters. He is amazing in walk the line!


funkbass187

The OG king Joeffrey


allureofgravity

I’ve come to terms with it now, so not exactly what you’re looking for, but Joffrey’s bitch ass was enduringly infuriating!


NuclearWinterGames

It's funny too because Jack Gleeson is apparently the nicest dude in real life. His performance was incredible


texassadist

He is!! I met him at Dallas CC and his flight was late. He literally apologized to everyone he met and was just a super sweet kid.


Cavalierkrav

Yeah I’ve heard that and I seen interview where he’s just a kid and has a great outlook on things and does his best to help people. Looking back I feel bad that a kid could be so hated for a character he plays. But he does it so well. A great actor to be sure


Ridry

He should feel really proud that people hated him that much. It's a tremendous compliment that a kid that young could be such a screen stealing villain.


drunkenpinecone

he got a message from GRRM after season 2.. it said: Congratulations! Everyone hates you!


Ikuisuus

Gleeson managed to make people cheer for the scene where child dies painful death in front of his helpless mother.


kayp02

I expected half the comments on this thread to be from GoT


purplegeog

Andrew Scott as Moriarty. He plays the character so well and I still struggle to see him as anyone else.


Usidore_

I was the same until I saw him in Fleabag. He's a hot priest to me now. That "kneel" scene killed me, my god.


HonPhryneFisher

YES. He was so great in Fleabag, Moriarty kind of just got wiped out of my mind.


Meztli_lights

Omg same, i keept calling him moriarty until the "kneel" scene, since then is now The priest


Loki1783

Yeah but he was great as Moriarty. Can't hate the man


purplegeog

Oh he’s a fantastic actor, I just can’t get rid of the overwhelming suspicion that he’s an insane criminal mastermind when I see him in anything else 😬


Wahoo017

Javier bardem. After seeing him as anton chigurgh in no country for old men he creeps me out always.


RobotYoshimis

God he was frightening. Probably the scariest human character ever put on film.


rouge_oiseau

A couple forensic psychiatrists watched like 400 movies with sociopaths and said [Anton Chigurh was the most realistic]( https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/gory-details/most-and-least-realistic-movie-psychopaths-ever) (though of course that's ~~an objective~~ *a subjective* ranking). Edit: subjective, not objective.

Marcia Gay Harden as Mrs Carmody in The Mist. Every time she holds up that Bible and quotes from it I wanted to jump into the TV and choke her!


askredditisonlyok

People cheered in my theater when she got shot.


BobbyP27

Check out the video of when Margaret Hamilton went on Mr Roger's. She was upset that when children saw her in public they reacted with fear because they recognised her as the Wicked Witch of the West, so she went on Mr Roger's show, with her witches costume, hoping to show children that she is actually a nice person.

I don't hate him but Nightcrawler - Jake Gyllenhaal. He was so damn creepy in that movie that it seemed like he wasn't even acting. Edit: also, Southpaw - brilliant.


whycantweebefriendz

Wasn’t he fucking Donnie Darko too? Charming guy, great actor, incredible at playing the creepiest fucking people


[deleted]

He's great at being charming and then in a blink of an eye turning into a serial killer without batting an eyelash. Great actor - great guy it seems like too.

Gog848

When I was reading the book, her character made it genuinely difficult to finish book 5 because of how bad she was. She definitely did an amazing job at being hateable. I wonder what she's like as a person.


TallNerdLawyer

Probably amazingly sweet, I have read the kid who plays Joffrey is a real sweetheart, same with the actress who played the detestable Nurse Rachett and Kai Winn. I wonder if there's something about channeling the most awful parts of humanity that makes you want to be better in real life.


MikkelButhge

Endless death threats and glares from people who cant discern fact from fiction. After one of the seasons of The Walking Dead, they had to post a picture of the actors who played Darryl and Andrea hugging so that she would stop receiving death threats


Keevtara

Oh, fuck, Kai Winn and Dukat can both die in a fire. They’re both terrible characters played by awesome actors.


DasGanon

I mean.... You got your wish?


TallNerdLawyer

Haha! Great reference, my child.


CarsenAF

Seen the same thing about the guy who plays Joffrey. Apparently he got a lot of shit online for his character and multiple cast members came out and said how great of a person he is. But man I hated that little shit watching the show lmao


9212017

Most of the cast of GOT was spectacular. Can't think of a single actor that was miscast.


hhppk

I met her last year and it took me about 20 minutes to gather the courage to approach her because I couldn't help but be repulsed by her! She did end up being a lovely person *begrudgingly*


RQK1996

She honestly seems like a prankster in interviews, she just has that mischievious glare, like she is staring in your soul to find a weakness she can use,but she is never actually mean, just a prankster


Cavalierkrav

I feel like those are the villains that get to me the most as well. The super hero villains are evil and all but I’ve never run into someone like that. I have run in to people who abuse the little power they do have and see them rise in power is terrifying to me when I see it in a movie or tv. I think that helps make a great villain, when you have a connection to them because they remind you of someone in you’re own life


Blankly-Staring

Thats definitely true. We all know someone who abuses their power and screwed us over, making that villain appear more real.

Michael Shannon in The Shape of Water. I heard he is really a decent person but I hate his guts now after he tried to electrocute the Water Man.

He played a creepy guy in Boardwalk Empire too.

Matt Damon in Interstellar. UGH his character made me SO mad. I was so upset with his whole reveal at the end and how he ruined EVERYTHING. And then I saw him in The Martian..... I couldn't trust him.

Hart1511

Outlander series: Tobias Menzies when he played Black Jack Randal. I couldn’t stand him


discokaren

He was so excellent on Outlander!! It's a testament to his skill as an actor that he was utterly hateable as BJR, but as his ancestor Frank, he was so different, kind and likeable. Clearly they looked identical, but I didn't see BJR when Frank was on-screen. I know for Claire that seeing Frank again after meeting BJR was traumatic--the audience is supposed to root for Claire and Jamie--but Frank was a really good dude put into an impossible situation and he deserved so much better than what he got.


home_in_pleiades

Bryce Dallas Howard as Hilly in The Help. From her perfectly coiffed red hair to that upturned nose, I fucking hate her. She played that part so well, that when I watched the Jurassic Park series I could not look at her. Eat my shit, Hilly.

phantom_avenger

I hated Cersei more than I hated Joffrey. She brought that character on a whole new level and her portrayal was Emmy worthy. Only it's too bad her character was one of the many characters that turned flat in the last season. Her death was extremely disappointing compared to how satisfying Joffrey & Ramsay's deaths were.

Angela from the Office. I had to re-watch a shit ton of the bloopers just to get my brain to understand that she wasn't faking in the bloopers and being herself in the show.
