Who out there do you think could play a mean and nasty villain, but just hasn't done so yet?

I was thinking of Emma Thompson. Quietly, softly, and Britishly, she could be quite chilling as she orders someone else's grisly, public death.

I'm pretty sure he's not played an out and out villain yet...I would so like to see Richard E. Grant play a really nasty piece of work...a totally OTT performance as a Bond villain or something like Alan Rickman in 'Prince of Thieves' or 'Die Hard'

I'll nominate Sandra Bullock-always playing the sweet, smart girl-next-door type. I walk into all her movies knowing I'll find her adorable in her role and I have yet to be disappointed. Even in Murder By Numbers, being the lone female who had to stick up for herself, there was that hint of vulnerability. I think she'd be perfect...besides, she's got the eyes and smirk for it

i'm going to bury you alive... and smile the whole time doing it...

I think Jodie Foster could play a really good bad-ass bitch queen from hell bad girl.....

I could easily see Sandra Bullock in a sort of Fatal Attraction role. Jodie Foster already played a villain in The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys.

She has? Oh cool.. I wasn't aware. I'll have to try and see that film then.

He's already played lots of villians, but I'd really like to see John Malkovich do 'Richard the Third'.

People who havn't played villians yet....

How about Orlando Bloom? I think that might be interesting.

Aww thats interesting that would be nice to see. Mm.. I guess i'd like to see people who aren't usually playing the role...mm..i have to think get back to ya on that one

I don't think he could pull it off, honestly.

I suggest Michael Caine. He would make a great villain.

John Malkovich as Richard III? Or Orlando Bloom?

I'll assume you mean Bloom.
I don't know. It might be kind of an opportunity for him to let loose. Sometimes the people who always play someone good and decent can really get into an evil character and have fun with it. Remember that scene at the beginning of Troy where he's playing the seducer?
