I have this category of male actors that play those “off” parts that seem to have that certain quality about them that places them in the sick f**ck group. These men have that creepy quality that separates them from your standard villains, mentally unstable individuals, and similar groups. They’re not huge and tough bad asses, they just have that creepy way about them that makes you wonder what diabolical thoughts they have going through their heads. The kind of guys you would feel totally uncomfortable walking behind you at night. All seem to have made a name for themselves because of this certain way about them. Taking nothing away from their abilities as actors; because all are. They are the League of Male Celebrity Sick F**ks.

Ones that come to mind are

Rutger Hauer

John Malkovich

Malcolm Mcdowell

Gary Oldman

Christopher Walken

Walken is the scarriest guy ever. If he told me he was going to kill me, and then started dancing(and dancing well, as he is damn good at it) I think i would just have a heart attack and die. Hes so riviting its insane. Definatly a favorite actor of mine.

SuperMidget

Steve Buscemi.

He was very good in Con Air, and his insane part in Armeggedon. Top notch. He can pull off the insane wacko part very well.

KWSN

Samuel L. Jackson. Such a great angry-ass sort-of-wacko in so many films. And Woody Harrelson just for Natural Born Killers, that was one of the perfect wacko parts. Kevin Spacey has been given the wacko treatment numerous times as well. Robin Williams lately too.

WILLEM DAFOE, I've dubbed him the monkey-boy. Honestly though, who else could play Jesus, the Green Goblin, Nosferatu and a pathetic villain in Speed 2?

I have a lot of respect for this actor, though it saddens me that he appeared in Speed 2.

Jadey

I was gonna say Willem DaFoe too. And Crispin Glover is a good call.

QuasiMojo

How 'bout Kevin Bacon?

Donald Sutherland?

KEIFER Sutherland....

Bruce Dern(for all you old heads)

....Michael Douglas...

yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

So many of the above but dont forget Dennis Hopper. You know the bad guy in the good Speed and about a gazillion other movies. Plus cant forget when his appearance on 24.

a lot of the name that are being suggested are actors who have done only one or two films that fit the definition. whereas the League of Extraordinary Sick-Fucks is for those who have made a career of playing these types. so, of all the nominees so far, those with a fighting chance of making the LESF are:

Buscemi
Dafoe
Hopper

some of the others Dern, Glover, Spacey, are marginal candidates. the rest of the names are not even close.

for that remaining slot, I think you have to go with Willem Dafoe. Hopper just doesnt seem dangerous enough to me, and Buscemi hasnt got quite enough nutjbobs on his resume yet.

A friend of mine just reminded me about a character out of one of my favorite movies The Shawshank Redemption. The actor was Bill Bollenger. I dont remember seeing this guy in any of the other movies he's been in because usually the part is small and the characters not very memorable. Shawshank was an exception though; he played one of the creepiest freaks I've seen, so creepy that I felt earned him a place in the league. He played the part of Elmo Blatch. If you dont know who that is; it's worth watching.

BLATCH-

"...I got me this job one time
bussin' tables at a country club.
So I could case all the big rich
pricks that come in. I pick out
this guy, go in one night and do
his place. He wakes up and gives
me shit. So I killed him. Him and
the tasty bitch he was with.
(starts laughing)
That's the best part! She's fuckin'
this prick, see, this golf pro, but
she's married to some other guy!
Some hotshot banker. He's the one
they pinned it on! They got him
down-Maine somewhere doin' time for
the crime! Ain't that choice?"

personally my choice for the lifetime achievement award goes to vincent price

CinnamonGirl

Kevin Spacey was the first one I thought of when I saw the post. No one's mentioned Ving Rhames yet...then again, I haven't seen most of his films, so maybe he's just psycho in the movies I've seen...

Walken is my all time favorite, but after seeing Butterfly Effect I think Eric Stoltz is well on his way to joining this list

great post
have to agree most with the original list... adding William DaFoe as well...
good to know i'm not the only one who thinks this way...

SuperMidget

Can't believe I forgot this one.

Anthony Hopkins

C'mon Hannibal Lecter... He makes a very good "sick f***"

Tophat665

Actually, he looks funny in a general sort of a way. //Fargo

It's true one well performed nutjob does not a sick f**k make, but Spacey's John Doe in Se7en is as chilling as they get. Even Hopkin's Lecter is only in the ballpark of that grade of twisted evil (although exquisitely well played).

nah Ving is pretty soft a lot of the time... ever see his Radio Shack ads? He looks like a teddy bear. The complete anti-Marsellus Wallace

I have to go with Rutger Hauer as top of the list. Just the way he can play such a "matter of fact" evil is chilling, like there was nothing else in the world that that character could have been. Both Blade Runner and the Hitcher bring that to mind. Unfortunately he got old, fat, and lame far too early. Walken would be a close second. The most recent actor who has this quality, even though he is getting more mainstream now, is Vincent D'Nofrio. I watch him on Law & Order, and I just can't seperate him from Private Pile or the killer from The Cell. Not to mention The Salton Sea, Men in Black, etc..

KWSN

Great choice! Never thought of that.

However i'd have to say that the MOST recent at the psycho-ish roles would have to be Robin Williams, in his recent parts such as Death to Smoochy, Insomnia, and One Hour Photo. Quite disturbing performances in those (but hilarious at the same time in Death to Smoochy)

Gary Oldman is the best, any body who can go from playng Sid Vicious, to Beethoven, to Dracula, and every other character he has played. ' Romeo is Bleeding' is one of his best flicks

ummm, i think the modern day Marlon Brando fits that category quite nicely.

another would be Rod Steiger (even though he's dead now).

I'm gonna have to go with Anthony Hopkins on this one.
I can't believe he's only got one vote so far.

omega2K4

Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Se7en.

but he plays the gentle pushover so well!

it's true though, he could be sick if given the opportunity.

definitley. The movie Happiness shows this. He was also quite dodgy in The Talented Mr Ripley (i think that's the tile?, with Matt Damon who pretends to be people...)

Yes, he's the first guy i thought of as well, when reading this thread

Finally, Jim Siedow (the cook) from the original Texas Chainsaw Masssacre.... damn creepy, and he's a cannibal

Another vote for Anthony Hopkins, he is just creepy sometimes.
