Michael Wincott... greatest villain actor

[Big Pudge]

he has been in METRO and ALONG CAME A SPIDER and THE CROW and has played the bad guy in all these films, and i trully think he is one of the finest villain actors to ever grace the screen! he has that voice that personifies evil!!

do you all enjoy his work?

[Arlius]

Yes, he was also great in Robin Hood and as Moxica in 1492: Conquest of Paradise..

[Scarface98.9]

He's a great villain actor, but he hasn't gotten enough roles in high-profile movies (the only major one lately is Count of Monte Cristo).

[James Logan]

Well, what can I say except: I completely agree.

Actually more like "Greatest Villain Actor Type-Casted by his Own Voice"


Funny thought: Can you imagine what his voice was like before it cracked?

One day he was singing soprano in the church choir and then BAM! Moved up to a raspy tenor.

[Arlius]

Well, Vin Diesel pretty much has an equally bad voice and he's thinking of doing some more diverse movies.. Don't know if anyone will take him seriously, though.

Micheal Wincott rules! He is quite the kick ass villian actor. Right up there with Gary Oldman.

Is there anything better than him and Alan Rickman acting together in Robin Hood?


Micheal:
Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe, or a dagger?

Alan:
Because it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!

Haha, love that line.

Indeed, indeed....

I like Christopher Walken and Michael Wincott, but I think that Gary Oldman is the best movie villian ever.

[Big Pudge]

Chris Walken fuckin rules as a villain too!
(same w/ Oldman)

[freakandgeek]

michael wincott is a grrreat villan, but not my favorite. i absolutely love gary oldman. i mean, he was imo the best thing in true romance! wooo hoo....robert deniro is also a great villan, but i like him as a tough guy you care for (like in casino)....christopher walken is great as anything, especially a bad guy...and he is the 2nd best thing in true romance. how come, imo, all the bad guys are the best thing in that movie? gary oldman, christopher walken, james gandolfini....hm...i just love all the bad guys in that. james is also a great bad guy! harvey keitel....the list could go on and on and on....but i will stop here!

Gary Oldman? Great actor whatsoever.

Christopher Walken? Great actor whatsoever.

But both always played the same kind of villains and even they themselved are fucked up playing them over and over again.

As for Michael Wincott. He's a slimy bastard at his best, but always delivers the same performance and to me is of little interest, since Tim Roth seems to be best villain as of now, even though the respective roles were in BAAAAAAD movies like PLANET OF THE APES and THE MUSKETERR.

I thought this was funny.. just found on Page Six...

MICK Jagger has no qualms bedding females his daughter’s age, but he doesn’t think she should go for older men. The wrinkly Rolling Stone is said to be furious that his curvy model daughter Elizabeth, 18 , has been dating Canadian actor Michael Wincott, 44. Jagger reportedly called his ex-wife Jerry Hall to demand that she put a stop to it. "Mick says this guy is far too old for his Lizzie," a pal told the London Metro. "He’s terrified this man will lead her astray."
