They're Sexy. They're Bad. They're The Boys You LOVE to HATE!
From serial killers to the undead, who doesn't love a little crazy now and then? TV and movies are leaving the awkward and mangled behind and bringing in these heartthrobs to play their baddest of the bad. Maybe you love to hate them, or you hate to love them. Whatever the case, who's your favorite bad boy?
Zachary Quinto in Heroes
Most of you know Zachary from his role in Star Trek, but before he was aboard the RSS Enterprise, he was slicing open heads and stealing brains as Sylar in Heroes.
Christian Bale in American Psycho
Patrick Bateman: by day a wealthy New York investment banking executive, by night his alternate psychopathic ego comes out to play. Fueled by materialism and envy, Bale’s hate for the world gets more intense and goes on a murdering spree.
Skeet Ulrich in Scream
I had to include him and not just because he looks like Johnny Depp. Basing his murders off of what he learned from old scary movies, Billy targeted tried to kill his girlfriend Sydney after killing her family and friends.
Michael C. Hall in Dexter
Some argue that Dexter isn’t a bad guy; he’s killing people who have already killed. Whatever your moral ethics, Dexter technically is the bad guy. I feel weird rooting on the bad guy, but the line between good and bad is obviously not as black and white as it once was.
Julius McMahon in Charmed
Let’s see, as Cole Turner he tried to rule the underworld, kill his girlfriend’s sisters and try to get his girlfriend to give birth to a demon. Sounds bad to me! Luckily he looked hot during all the plotting and scheming!
James Franco in Spiderman
Consumed with anger and is obsessed with making sure his best friend Peter Parker pays for killing his father, Franco’s character evolves into a pretty bad-ass guy.
Bradley Cooper hosts this Saturday Night Live talk show, “Bad Guys, Good Conversation,” as Johnny from the Karate Kid. He interviews villains from Die Hard, Fatal Attraction and Silence of the Lamb.
Cam Gigandet in Twilight
Cam played James, a tracker vampire in Twilight who became obsessed with the chase. He bit Bella and broke her leg before fighting with Edward. After you cut off the pony tail he sported in the movie, Cam is quite the hottie. Don’t remember his pony tail? Oh yeah, he was shirtless throughout most of the movie. I can see why you wouldn’t have remembered.
Alexander Skarsgård in True Blood
Alexander plays Eric Northman, a vampire over 1,000 years old. He doesn’t understand Bill’s fascination to mainstream with humans or his love for Sookie, a human. He hasn’t done anything totally evil quite yet, but you get the idea that he’s not finished with Bill or Sookie.
James Marsters in Buffy
I never really got into this show, but I’ve caught a few glimpses of Spike here and I had to add him to this list. A friend said that he was good and bad, but we’ll focus on the bad sides of him for this guide :)
Ryan Phillippe in Cruel Intentions
I’d argue that being tricked into bed with Ryan isn’t necessarily a cruel intention, but that’s just me!
Chris Noth aka Mr. Big in Sex And The City
If you’ve seen Sex And The City the movie, he ends up not being a bad guy. But throughout the series Big has had his share of ups, downs, heartbreaks and heartaches.
Clive Owen in Inside Man
You can think of Clive Owen’s character, Dalton Russell, as an updated version of Alan Rickman’s villain in “Die Hard.” This guy is obviously different because Owen is much hotter than Rickman. Owen remains cool and calm while planning the perfect heist in Inside Job. Come on…who doesn’t love his voice whispering sweet nothings on screen?!
Sawyer on Lost
Josh Holloway as Sawyer is not really bad, per say, although he does have a tendency to piss off and alienate most of his fellow island dwellers. Regardless, if I were stranded on that island with him, I would have a hard time staying mad for very long, much less stay away from him.
