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

The first half of the first season of Heroes was so good.

Vincent D'Onofrio walks a fine line between being believable and over the top.

Every character in Fall of the House of Usher.

[–] 0x01@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

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
