9. Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt, one of Hollywood's biggest stars, has spent the sum of his career - like Leonardo DiCaprio - playing characters of various shades of morality, but rarely ever to the point that you could call them actual "bad guys." In
Twelve Monkeys he was insane (but hardly a villain), and although he's played lots of hitman and crooks, we're always position on his side, as witnessed in
Mr. and Mrs. Smith and
Killing Them Softly. He plays what I like to call "the good bad guy." That's to say, the majority of us do not associate Pitt with villainous roles, and no clear villainous role springs to mind, as it might with, say, Denzel Washington - a renowned "good guy" - and
Training Day. Even his turn in
Fight Club, which is ultimately revealed to be of villainous means, doesn't really count, because it's the sum of a hallucination. Can you picture Pitt in a fully-fledged bad guy role, though, one where we're actively rooting against him? Sure would be fun.
