    I was thinking of this. My favourite gangster film one except of course for the greatest of them all, Michael Gambon's peerless Albert Spica in The Cook The Thief His Wife And Her Lover

    M Emmett Walsh in Blood Simple. Quietly sinster. 

    Mieko Harada as Kaede in Ran could go from Trumpian nutter to screaming psycho in one scene. 

    Yosemite Sam.

    That was about the only thing he said that wasn't effing and jeffing.

    If we can do TV series Villains as well, then Billy Bob Thornton as Lorne Malvo in the original Fargo series takes some beating.

    Tim Curry was great as the original Pennywise.

    The huge bloke in the cell with the Eddie Murphy character in Trading Places who just threateningly repeats ’yeah’. Best voice ever in any film imo.

    Oh, and what makes this scene even more special is that you see the actor who later played Gus Fring in Breaking Bad.

    James Earl Jones - nobody else near imho

    Young actor Jamie Campbell Bower is definitely one to watch. Vecna in Stranger Things will be a launch pad but that voice and tonality could be terrifying if matched with the right dark/villainous characters.

    From a versatility perspective, Andy Serkis is right up there, though not sure he has done enough ‘villainous’ roles quite yet. What I love about his vocal performances is that he uses everything in his vocal range to create his character voice and unlike the incredible James Earl Jones, it is not obvious that it is him eg Gollum, Caesar, Snoke etc.
