10 Nice Guy Actors Who Went Evil For Movie Roles

3. Harrison Ford - What Lies Beneath

What Lies Beneath He was Han Solo. If that was the end of his story it would be enough. He was Indiana Jones. Again, if that was all, it'd be enough. But he's also put down rabid androids in Blade Runner, been Tom Clancy's top spook Jack Ryan not once but twice and been a bare-knuckled President, badass enough to kick commies off his plane in Air Force One (still waiting on a sequel to that, director Wolfgang Petersen). Let's face it, Harrison Ford has played some pretty cool heroes. He's also played some pretty nice guys. Norman Spencer is not a hero, but as the movie What Lies Beneath opens, he at least seems like he could go in Ford's nice guy column. He's a college professor of...some kind of science, lives with his wife Claire, played by the ever-lovely Michelle Pfieffer and has just seen his one and only child, Caitlin off to college. He and Claire are in the midst of dealing with empty-nest syndrome when weird ghost stuff starts happening, secrets begin to emerge and Claire finds out that...(SPOILERS!) holy s***, Norman had an affair with a student, killed her and dumped her in a lake. So much for him being nice. Of course, at that point it's only fitting that he try to kill Claire as well. Can't treat his wife any differently than he did his mistress, that'd just be damn disrespectful to her, like p*ssing on their marriage vows or something. I'm not sure if Ford's ever taken another stab at being the heavy since playing Norman Spencer and to be honest, I'd rather not see him try it again. While he hasn't played an action hero in almost as long, there's rumors of him reprising the role of Han Solo in the next Star Wars flick, so it'll be good to see him back in a heroic role that we know and love. Now to those of you who say, "Well, what about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal...?" SHUT THE HELL UP!

Ron Savage learned to read at an early ageā€¦ and the list of his accomplishments ends there. After that there's just a lot of lame excuses and oversleeping, disappointed people and more than a few lost pets. But with his ability to hunt and peck and an annoying penchant for speaking in the third-person, Ron hopes to one day amount to something that will make his parents proud to say: "Fine, you can move back into your old room."
