I love playing villains. When you're a bad guy, you get to do many real nasty things. It's a lot of fun.

Kurtwood Smith

There is something, yeah, I mean traditionally it's more fun to play bad guys than it is good guys and when you're playing a bad guy, yeah, the fun in it is to see how scary you can be, how horrible you can be. And it's surprising what you come up with.

Bill Nighy

Villains are fun. I think the important thing in playing them is that they don't see themselves as villains. It lets you be a little more expansive.

Rhys Ifans

It's definitely more fun playing a bad guy. It feels a lot better than playing one of the good guys.

Tom Felton

I have always found myself playing the hero, but I love villains. Villains have more fun.

Orlando Bloom

You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight. You know, it’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up front with you — I like brawling.

James Mattis

I loved comic books. I loved Miss Marvel. I talk about Harley Quinn all the time because I think playing villains is so much more fun than playing the good guy because who wouldn't want to go to work and just be crazy?

Katee Sackhoff

I've played a lot of villains. The villains are always fun because you can just go fractionally bigger than life. It's always a grey area because you don't want to end up mustache-twirling and making them a little false, but you always get to play a little more, whereas the lead guy has to be a little more straight.

Neil Jackson

Coming in here and having fun with the guys, loving everyone, playing this game - it's a lot of fun.

Freddie Freeman

I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun.

Joaquin Phoenix

I always like playing the bad guys. They have more fun!

James Badge Dale

Acting is playing pretend, playing a children's game at an adult level, but with children's rules. It's fun to play bad guys. I've never been in a fight in my life, so it's fun to play something that's different.

Ray Liotta

Bad guys are complicated characters. It's always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don't have a heroic code you have to live by.

Peter Dinklage

I would love to play just an all out bad guy who has fun being malicious. It would be totally unexpected, and that's what would make it exciting. Plus, bad guys don't see themselves as bad guys, so you could have fun with that.
