Zachary Quinto’s Sylar in Heroes comes to mind. Colin Farrell in The Penguin.

Every character in Fall of the House of Usher.

I really liked Nathan Stark (Ed Quinn) on Eureka, honestly felt like he was a better character than the main protagonist. He wasn't a direct antagonist but he was written as a rival iirc
