Biggest "douchebag" actors - Blu-ray Forum

BStecke · 02-22-2008, 03:43 AM

I was thinking about this today . . .

Who would you say portrays some of the best douchebags? Somebody who makes you say, "Man, what a douchebag . . . but I love it!"

Jason Isaacs is pretty good in The Patriot and the Harry Potter films.

I figure this thread may pique my interest in some films I haven't seen

Sylin · 02-22-2008, 05:12 AM

I'll +1 Jason Isaacs. Not in person--he's fabulous. And he was a nice guy in The Tuxedo. But he is a jerk in many movies... good villain all-around.

James Gandolfini is a douchebag in Sopranos and Crimson Tide. He was also pretty mean in The Mexican, until he revealed his softer side (lame).

Billy Bob Thornton is a douchebag in Tombstone, Love Actually, Pushing Tin, and many more.

That's all I can think of right now... but there will be more.

William Atherton - you know him from Ghostbusters "yes, it's true, this man has no dick", Die Hard "I'm not the one who just got b___f___ed on TV, Duane", etc.

Master of the douchebag role.

Brian Denehey in First Blood.

Michael Ironside in anything, great bad guy.

PossumPete · 02-22-2008, 04:27 PM

Danny Devito can be an evil little shit.

Then, of course, there's Ben Affleck. Oh wait, you said actor.

dobyblue · 02-22-2008, 04:28 PM

Vincent Cassells in "Derailed"
Gene Hackman as "Lex Luthor"

Bluoholic · 02-22-2008, 06:31 PM

Thorntorn takes the cake on this one, yeah he softens near end of his movies but throughout he can be a mean mofo. hehe

I mean the replacement senators from the first battlestar galatica movie
I think it came out in 1980's, particully when the senators though surrending
to the cylons after the cylons wiped there planets clean was a good idea.

Others was in the same movie the president of the 12 colonys, who said that
"the cylons have sued for peace.." followed afterwards, There is a Large cylon fleet handing our way, Baltar: oh its just a welcoming committee, later the presdent says.. "Baltar ... where is baltar" as the ship explodes in a fiery explosion as Baltar is long gone ready to cash in on his betrayal.

ManUtd · 02-22-2008, 07:34 PM

My vote goes to Jason Isaacs.

Nick Graham · 02-22-2008, 08:01 PM

The king of movie douchery goes to the late, great J.T. Walsh.

Rob71 · 02-23-2008, 12:48 AM

Christopher McDonald AKA Shooter McGavin

+1 man, what a piece o'sh** in Breakdown

Loved his work!

broganreynik · 02-23-2008, 01:34 PM

I would say Paul Walker...just because I think it's impossible for him not to play a douchebag.

Also AKA Travis Cole

My pick would have to be Nicolas Cage in virtually every movie he has done...

I hate that bastard.

PS3ds · 02-23-2008, 06:41 PM

James Spader

Seems like he plays a douche bag role in every film he is in:

wall street
wolf
stargate

geekboy2000 · 02-23-2008, 06:54 PM

Mark Wahlberg in "Fear":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116287/

He did such a good job of playing such a vile character, I hated his guts on a personal level by the end of the film. Now that's acting.

cking2729 · 02-23-2008, 08:09 PM

Hah, when I clicked on this post initially I thought it meant douchebag actors in real life. I was getting prepared to unleash the wrath on Tom Cruise and Sean Penn

Anyway, now that I know the actual point of the thread. As of late, Chris Cooper has really impressed me as a dark demented d-bag character. He was perfect in American Beauty and Breach.

Bill Moseley in The Devils Rejects was also a brilliant. Robert Patrick also plays consistently good d-bags.

However, my biggest d-bag of ALL TIME in ANY MOVIE EVER goes to Kathy Bates in Misery. She earned every ounce of that Oscar.

Jason Isaacs! Well said, I've always thought that - his Colonel Tavington pissed me off. Hmm - let me think who else...
