GQ’s Villainous Actor Profile Series
I’m far too fashionable to ever need to read GQ myself, but every once in a while they do something worth noting. Right now, they have a rather cool profile of famous “villainous” actors, aka actors who are usually known for playing bad guys on film or TV.
Jack Gleeson (Joffrey, above) only has one big credit to his villain resume, but others like Ron Perlman, Mark Strong, Malcolm McDowell and more have been doing this for a long time.
The photos are perhaps the best part, and you can check out all of them below. If you want to read the actual interviews you can find them all here.
Walton Goggins
Ron Perlman
Mark Strong
Malcolm McDowell
John Hawkes
Benecio Del Toro
these are all great, except for the one with john hawkes.. it doesn’t fit the style of the rest of them..
I just can’t see John Hawkes as a bad guy. He was scary in Winter’s Bone but he still seemed strangely heroic to me.
