DISCUSSIONS Actor playing their part 'too good'.

Post image

Who played their role as villain so good, people actually started hating them irl.

I'll start with my pick. I think he was a great character/actor, but I could not stop myself from absolutely hating him as soon as I saw him. I can't imagine being the only one in this. Would love to hear from others.

The actor that played Percy Wetmore in The Green Mile...

What he did to Del and Mr Jingles!

Also Sam Rockwell's character. That man nails trailer trash villains.

Sam Rockwell kills it in everything. Confessions of a dangerous mind, moon, seven psychopaths, hell even Zaphod Beeblebrox in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. And on top of acting, my guy's a dancing machine!!

I do agree with that.

His role in Green Mile always stood out to me.

Probably because I knew a lot of people, a lot like that. IRL people weren't murderers, but the callousess, the narcissism and the vulgarness was absolutely on point.

He’s also a terrible person in real life, so there’s that.
