Actors who've never played a baddie

[call me daddy x]

I was just thinking about who are leading actors/actresses who have never played a baddie in a leading role.

I was thinking more about action/drama/thriller and not comic or family films.


My first thought is because i've been going through my Jackie Chan collection and also watched Demolition Man the other day.
Apparenty Stallone wanted Chan as the bad guy but Chan declined because he didn't was to upset his Chinese fan base by playing a baddie.

Another one I was thinking of is Clint Eastwood. Even when he was playing a perceived bad guy (No Name trilogy, Unforgiven, even Dirty Harry and Gran Torino to some respect) he always comes out at the good guy in the end.

 

[Cherise]

Definatly Hugh Grant!

 

[Asgehgsj]

Wasn't he the bad guy in Bridget Jones' Diary?

Anyway, I think RomComs should not be considered also

 

[Earl Palmer]

Jennifer Aniston

 

[Sally]

Wild Things? sort of.

 

[kilcoynedonahe]

What About Bob?


Cohen And Tate. Naked Lunch.

 

[Butter Bean]

Amy Adams
Neve Campbell I think
Anne Hathaway?

 

[Retiwer]

Has meryl streep ever played a baddie?
Her character in Devil wears prada was more of a bitch then a baddie

 

[First on the way!]

Well yeah. Not exactly a fully-fledged villain but, as I said, a not-so-nice-guy. Well, I didn't find him nice anyway, I thought he was a barsteward

 

[puproyale]

Tom Hanks?

 

[junglemonkey0097]

Well, he was a bad aspect of somebody else's personality, so technically, yes (And before anyone has a go ... everybody will know that twist by now! )

And he played a not-so-nice guy in Thelma and Louise

 

[seyton manning]

Scheider also played a bad guy in The Rainmaker.

 

[Mackmizzled]

Meryl Streep was a baddie in the remake of The Manchurian Candidate which is worth seeing.

Quite a twist in the end of this film.

 

[KailaW]

Paul Rudd

 

[B Dawgg]

Well not really.... He was more of a rogue.

 

[Shinjza]

Thinking about it - and feel free to slap me here, going out on a limb - has stallone ever played a bad guy in a movie?

Not counting spy kiRAB here

 

[Vibrantfish]

Was he not a baddie in the film The Beguilded ?

 

[Lukey Boy]

Not sure. Never seen or heard of the film. I was just putting a few names out there.

 

[subwaylover#1]

He was the bad guy in Death Race 2000 early in his career.

I don't think Steven Segal has acted the bad guy, although he has acted badly

 

[penguins87]

I think hes gonna be the baddie in machette when that comes out.
