3. Mads Mikkelsen
Mads Mikkelsen's got that crazy face of the perfect bad guy - and boy does he use it. He made for a supreme bond villain in Casino Royale (2006) and made us shake like children when he played One Eye, the indestructible Viking prisoner who says nothing in the love-it-or-hate-it movie Valhalla Rising (2009). Recently he's gone back to Danish roots with The Hunt (2012), where he ain't so much the bad guy as the misunderstood guy. The Hunt was loved by almost everyone that watched it and showed us that Mads can do more than just growl and sneer at the camera. But fret not - the badass Mikkelsen is coming back to the dark side in the upcoming Shia LaBeouf picture Charlie Countryman (2013), which is being pegged as one to watch over the next year. In all honesty, as much range as Mads has, we really only want to see him mess sh*t up as another figure of severe evil - as horrible as that sounds.
