10 Heroically-Aligned Actors Who Need To Play Movie Villains

10. Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan You know Jackie Chan as that "hilarious little Chinese guy" who bumbles his way through racially-diverse comedy movies, kicking ass, failing to speak proper English, and always playing the hero. There's a good reason for that, though - well, the "hero" part, at least. Jackie Chan has consciously made the decision to play only heroic characters over the course of his career, because he wants to stay a good role model for children. You can't argue with that, I suppose. So whereas this is probably never going to happen, can you imagine? It gets me thinking about the way Sergio Leone convinced Henry Fonda - then renowned as one of Hollywood's go-to good guys - to star as the villain in Once Upon A Time In The West: "A child gets shot, the camera pans around... and it's Henry Fonda!" Now picture something similar, only with the Chan Man. The camera pans around and Jackie Chan has butchered, like, fifty orphans or something.
