Screen transcending performances

[xFrenchKissx]

Ever see a movie where the villain is just too damn convincing? Or, is there an actor/actress that just strikes you as being creepy? On the flip side, who can play a role so convincing, that you really connect with it?

For me, it is Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.

Keifer Sutherland as the villain in Freeway and Eye for an Eye.

Tom Hanks as Forest Gump.

Dylan Walsh in Stepfather

I love Dylan Walsh in Nip/Tuck, playing a serious role but with humor. Here he was really creepy as hell. Great transition for his career imo.

Ok, yeah he did very well with what he had to work with. Kind of hard to be a hard core villain in a horror movie without an R rating. And a remake at that.

I'll add David Morse in Disturbia to my list.

Anthony Hopkins for sure. Willem Dafoe in pretty much any of his roles as a Villain. Bale was also pretty creepy in American Psycho.
