Honestly, it’s always bothered me how people assume playing a villain is harder than playing the hero. For me, it's actually the complete opposite. A villain has so much room to move—you basically have to be a total amateur to mess up a bad guy role. Think along the lines of Val Kilmer, for example. On the flip side, the "good guy" has such a narrow lane to run in. They can't just cheat on everyone and call it a day, and they can't go around making wild, bulging-eyed faces—looking at you, Al Pacino🤮—so they really have to work twice as hard to outshine the antagonist. That's why I started this thread—to give some credit to the ones who usually get overlooked.😁
