When I saw the word 'actress' in the opening paragraph, I got excited and thought Michelle Pfeiffer's unrelenting portrayal of Catwoman/Selina Kyle would be there on the list. That has to be one of the most under-rated, over-looked performances of all time(and ditto goes for the writer for creating such a dark, complex, multifaceted character who was a woman for a change). Michelle P. is on par with all five of these dudes, if not better, in my personal opinion.Vinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-60401144692205898122009-07-03T11:15:28.065-07:002009-07-03T11:15:28.065-07:00The list was for comic book villains only.

He redefined that genre by bringing a new level of sophistication and intelligence to the role. <br /><br />Though confined in a cell his effect was captivating, and all consuming. Would have loved to see his name in your list.~junkienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-43332232367163499312009-07-03T02:18:19.849-07:002009-07-03T02:18:19.849-07:00People tend to forget now, but Al Pacino was actua...People tend to forget now, but Al Pacino was actually nominated for an Oscar for playing Big Boy Caprice.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099422/awardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
