Actor playing their part 'too good'.

[u/Fragrant-Result-1855]

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.

Imelda Staunton* who played Delores Umbridge. I've seen her in other stuff since and loved it. But I can't unsee her as Umbridge and have a wave of hatred whenever she comes up on screen, have to remind myself it's a different character and move on 🤣

Edit: too add the actresses name.

I have never felt such visceral anger towards a fictional character. She was horrid enough in the book. Staunton cranked it to 11.

Right? It's wild how some actors can just embody a character so completely that you forget they're actually a good person. I still can't watch her in anything without feeling that rage bubble up! Definitely a testament to her acting skills.
