The term villain is defined as: “a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.” The best of them exhibit behavior that is so offensive that they grab the audience’s attention and move them emotionally. My personal favorite villains are the ones with a dual nature. They exhibit abhorrent behavior while also showing their human side from time to time. Without further ado, here are my ten personal favorite villains.
10. JR. Ewing. Dallas (1979-91)
J.R. Ewing, played by Larry Hagman, was such a sleaze bag that when he was shot in the 1980 season finale, just about anyone on the show could be considered a suspect, including his own wife. J.R. is the eldest son of oil tycoon and entrepreneur Jock Ewing. His legendary father leaves J.R. with big shoes to fill. J.R’s motto is lie, cheat, steal and do anything to stay on top. He constantly schemes to cheat his brother Bobby out of his part of the company. Fidelity to his wife, Sue Ellen? Forget it. This guy is a serial philanderer. Even his mother can’t stand him. J.R. Ewing was a villain who captivated and infuriated television audiences for over a decade.
