Is Anthony Hopkins the most evil actor of all time?

I mean is this guy the most diablical guy ever? He creeps me the he** out because sure Jason or Mike Myers will cut you, but this guy will insult you, frame you, steal your wife, and get you a nice cell with bubba the a** raping clown and then feed you razor blades when you get out. I guess it's because he's a believable smart guy with connections and a man with power is scarier than a guy in a mask.
Anyway the movie was good. The gun switch was a far stretch for sure and I knew it all along but man you got to be crazy and super smart to plan all that out becuase it's a one in a million shot pretty much. So the movie doesn't get an 8 from me because we all know this kinda guy would have planned it a lot better than that and no one would have found out she even died.

He was absolutely fantastic in "Shadowlands", where he played C.S. Lewis.

Hopkins has this amazing ability with speech which not all actors possess. When someone has this gift for delivering a speech it opens the possibility to be both the most heartwarming man in world or the biggest monster. Hopkins has done both many many times. I often say about Hopkins that he is one of my favorite actors because he did both Hannibal Lecter and the narration in The Grinch. How different are those roles...

I remember someone once saying that the reason why Brit's are good villans in American films (Hopkins, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman) is because they have this perception that we aren't to be trusted. Not to mention the accent as well.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled off was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
