I thought it would be fun to compile a list of your favorite actors who are, well, creepy. The fun thing about this is that many of them are highly recognizable actors, but their names are often unfamiliar.

Just list a couple per post.

I'll start

Bill Duke

Ronald Lacey

Crispin Glover- not only a fine actor, but a gifted singer as well.

Clarence Williams III

Actors or Roles?

Chris Walken in The Prophecy series = Seriously creepy.
Chris Walken in True Romance = Wonderfully evil.

Nathan Fillion as Caleb in Buffy = Seriously creepy.
Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly/Serenity = AWESOME ON A STICK!

Summer Glau as River Tam in Firefly/Serenity = Seriously creepy.

As for actors just actors...
