Kelsey Grammer

Kelsey played the part of villain Harold Attinger in ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ and says he really liked the part: “He walks a fine line. He thinks he’s a good guy. He can justify what he does. Others may see him as the villain. He has a job to do and does it, although his ego does corrupt him. I enjoy playing the villain. It’s fun. When he does things that are particularly bad it’s very enjoyable.”

Nicole Kidman

Nicole has always been fascinated by the bad characters: ”I was the kid who loved the wicked witch in ‘The Wizard of Oz’, so of course I grew up to be the girl who wants to play the villain in a movie. I’m always happy to play the bad girl.”

Tom Hiddleston

Tom loves taking on villains because they’re often complex characters: “I think villains, really great villains, are always the most complex. Because in their heart, there is always some kind of deeply complicated psychology that you need to unpack and un-knit and understand.”
