I don't like two-dimensional characters who are obviously villains from the moment they walk on stage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.
You know, we have to take these characters - who, granted, have their separate personalities but, on a lot of levels, are pretty two-dimensional - and make them into people with flaws, with insecurities.
In thinking about it, the villains often have a little bit more range because their morality is different. You can have just a really good time as an actor, and there is just more there that you can explore on that side of the story.
I don't play the role of a villain, really, but I like playing anti-hero kind of roles. I like characters where there's conflict, drama, and more personal investment than just being heroes.
I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.
I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain.
Villains are very, very boring to do. They're so much easier than heroes.
I think the trick to playing villains is that you can't play them as if they know that they're villains, otherwise it becomes some sort of mustache-twirling caricature!
I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.
I think everybody likes to play the villain. They're always much more interesting characters.
