It's generally more fun playing the villain
It's generally more fun playing the villain.
Villains can often be one note and I would say in that case, it’s not fun to play the villain. It’s fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for. In the movie, you’re applauded for them if you do them with panache. And so that’s why it’s more fun to play the villain.
I think a lot of actors will tell you that playing a villain can be more fun than playing the straight and narrow good guy.
I do think I have more fun being a villain, definitely. It's just more fun to be a villain.
A lot of actors say that no villain wants to be a villain, generally. They don't might being evil, maybe, but they have an agenda that they can justify. Otherwise, a little bit of that tension goes, if you're just a villain and everyone hates you because you're mean.
Playing the villain is great fun.
It's always fun playing a villain, I do have to say.
Playing the villain, bringing her to life, is the most fun because there really are no rules.
I don't necessarily prefer playing villains. I know a lot of people say they are more fun, but if the scriptwriter has done their work well, you can find something realistic in a villain and find the mistakes in a hero - it's all down to the writing.
I do more of ensemble casting, roles that are different. In one film I'm playing a villain, in the other I'm playing a son.
It's fun playing the villain now and again; villains are so simple, and you don't have to worry about the audience loving you.
Playing a villain was fun, only because you get to do all the things you wouldn't normally do in your real life.
I'd love to play a Bond villain. Yeah, I'd love to play a Bond villain. Everyone always says this to me; they always say, 'You've got to be a Bond villain', 'We're going to make you a Bond villain...' But they've never, ever approached me, I've never had a whiff of it. I think I'd love to play a Bond villain; I'd have great fun.
Whenever you take on playing a villain, he has to cease to be a villain to you. If you judge this man by his time, he's doing very little wrong.
I can't tell people how much fun it is to be a super-villain. Being a villain is cool, but being a supervillain is a different level of exciting.
A lot of the time, a moral compass is all that separates a hero from being a villain; otherwise, the two are very much the same. Both are generally the richest and most complex characters, and they get to have all the fun. I guess it's those types of roles that I ultimately gravitate towards.
