Gary Oldman (Born 1958)
Vs.

Ralph Fiennes (Born 1962)
Some actors are just born to play villains. Something about their face just screams evil: a spark of the eye, a crook in the mouth, or perhaps the particular angle of their brow. Undoubtedly two of the best, and certainly some of the most prolific in their evildoing are the two men above you.
Gary Oldman is often heralded as the most versatile of villainous performers. Just look at his work in The Professional, Dracula, True Romance, Hannibal, Air Force One, JFK, and more to see his amazing range. I’m personally a humongous fan of Jean-Baptiste Zorg, his fey cajun future-coiffed sneerer in Fifth Element.
But, that being said, perhaps none of Oldman’s creations are as viscerally frightening as Fiennes’ epically unsettling performance as Nazi Amon Göth in Schindler’s List. Of course he’s also has bad dude turns as Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, as Hades in Clash of The Titans, as Francis Dolarhyde in Red Dragon, and one of my personal favorites, Harry in In Bruges. Both of these actors are indispensably great villains, but you know how this game works. Choice is yours…
