Top Ten Actors, Dead or Alive, Who Would Make Excellent James Bond Villains

I think he would make an excellent Bond himself, but his acting style as a villain, from Kahn to the Necromancer, is near unbeatable. Deep and dark voice, sharp emotional and physical expression, and in the plot development of a class-act Bond film, the last thing you'd expect. He would only make a mind-blowing Bond villain.

He'd be a great choice for the role, but I imagine he's getting a little too familiar with playing villains in major franchises. I'd guess that he'd turn the role down for the time being, at least until he's had time to distance himself from the typecasting issues.

Considering how easy it is for him to play a convincing hero as it is for him to play a convincing villain, I'd say that he'd be a great choice. The 007 series could use a villain who isn't obviously evil from the moment we meet them, similar to Kristatos in 'For Your Eyes Only.'

If only he were still with us. Just picture it. As a villain, he was vastly different from what we're after, but he'd have brought something else to Bond.

Yes. He would have been perfect for being a Bond villain. There's no denying that.

Shame his health issues have probably dashed any hopes, but in his heyday, he would've excelled as a Bond villain. Imagine Curry instead of Jonathan Pryce in 'Tomorrow Never Dies.'

Tim Curry hasn't exactly been busy these past few years. Maybe a role such as this would be the ticket he needs to become a bankable star again. I've always been a fan of his.

I must admit that her as a 007 villain has never crossed my mind. But now, with the idea planted in my head, I think she'd be brilliant. Imagine a twist involving her as a Bond girl who is revealed to be the main villain. Sure, it's not a new idea, but every time we've seen it, it's always involved a #2 villain or lower. She'd be the MAIN boss. I'm not going to be able to get this out of my head now.

Outstanding actress, and maybe a good Bond girl. I imagine a Bond girl who would betray Bond and slowly be revealed as the snake behind the whole villain's operation.

His diversity would definitely be a strength if he were to accept the challenge. I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I've become slightly disenchanted with his work in recent years. He needs to lay off working for Tim Burton - too much white face makeup. If he's as good as they say he is in 'Black Mass,' then I might just give him my vote of confidence.

The man can do absolutely anything and everything, including a wicked, sinister villain. I imagine Ian Fleming and Christopher Lee would very much approve.

He really did play the lead James Bond in The Living Daylights.

To think that he's the same actor who played Jeff Spicoli in 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' amazes me, since the guy has got some of the best serious chops in the business. His intensity levels go through the roof when he wants them to. Imagining him as a Bond baddie paints a pretty interesting picture, I think.

She's been in the news a lot within the past few months thanks to her enthusiasm for possibly playing a villain in the next 'Fast & Furious' installment. Well, I'd love to see her as a Bond villain first.

Perhaps the main reason why she'll likely never play the role is that she can be very similar to Judi Dench. Their personalities can be very much the same when playing characters that have power. Too bad. She'd be a natural choice.

Too awesome. If he pulls a Kilgrave-style performance, that would be amazing! I think he could play a playful villain with a lot of jokes and a sinister edge.

Okay, admittedly, I don't think he can pull off a Scottish accent, but I think he could probably pull off the character, particularly with his relationships with women.
