**John Makovich** anyone? Dangerous Laisons - sleazy Valmont. In the Line of Fire - a psychotic assassin Johnny English - with a bad French accent wanted to take over the British Throne. I’m sure there’s more. ---

Robert Vaughan. His role as a good guy in _The Man From U.N.C.L.E_ notwithstanding, just about everything else he has been in was as a sneaky double-crosser. ---

> [@Eleanor of Aquitaine](#): > > No, Sean Bean is Richard Sharpe! I always have a difficult time believing he’s the bad guy. Me too. NO matter how many smarmy bastards he plays (most recently in _The Island_]), he’s always Sharpe to me. ---

It’s hard to get more evil looking than [Brian Thompson](http://imdb.com/name/nm0859921/). ---

Then there’s **Brian Cox** , in _Troy_, _X2_, the Bourne movies, _Rob Roy_, etc. He does get the Sharpe exemption, though, where he is more or less on the side of the good guys as Major Hogan. ---

Need a smug, pretentious asshole? Well, [William Atherton](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0040472/) is ready for you. ---
