Most movies have heroes who are celebrated by viewers but this is only made possible by defeating the villain. Who is that villain you hate to love in any movie, past and present?

I love Dennis Hopper's role as Howard Payne in Speed. Hear him...."Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do? "
The guy was such a wacko.

Another Villain i can't help buy enjoy his roles is Tom Hiddleston as Loki in the Thor and Avengers Movies.

For TV Series..I would go for Theodore Bagwell aka T Bag in Prison Break. I hated the guy yet always looked forward to his parts in the series. He was such a murderous comic.

Thing about cersei is her face, her walk, her charisma is so sweet while her heart is so bitter, so cruel and so unimaginably wicked.

That has got to be Darken Rahl played by Craig Parker in ABC Studios series Legend of The Seeker. He's certainly the best villain I have ever seen in a Tv series.

Seriously that guy is something else. He is smart as well a mastermind, wise, has a cunning smile, funny, graceful in bearing, devious, annoying, everything about him is tinged with purpose, manipulative, ruthless, insidiously evil and deadly... And oh he is also handsome for a villain. And I think it was a nice development, seeing a deviation from the old boring cliche of picking grotesque hideous people to occupy roles of villains. In fact at a point when I was watching the series, I found myself rooting for him much to my displeasure although deep down I wanted the seeker and his crew to emerge victorious at the end of the series. Lol. He portrayed the role so smoothly, elegantly and perfectly as though he was born for this particular purpose. He brought a kinda raw excitement to the show and I absolutely loved it. I also admire the way and manner in which he speaks and how he crafts his words to fit the occasion. Suffice to say he delivers his words with a flair.
I often find myself rewinding his scenes just so I could savour it to maximum satisfaction. Haha.

As when he said to Queen Milena:

Darken Rahl: "Have no fear for your daugther, your Highness. She will grow up surrounded by the most precious jewels. As a slave in the deepest caverns of the Mines of Athanasia."

Does Nollywood have villains? I mean in the real sense of the word.

1. The Joker (The dark knight)

2. Agent Smith (The matrix)

3. Baron Quinn (Into the badlands)
