My friend is taking a media studies class this summer, and she's beginning her final project now. She has chosen to study the ability for actors to more easily play the antagonist than the protagonist. She is using examples from film and TV (i.e. media). She has asked me for my help, and I accepted. So she want examples of actors playing both types, and she has plenty of basic comparisons, but I told her it may have more of an impact if she also had examples of actors playing both roles in the same setting, i.e. actors that turn evil, ect ect. I gave her the example of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel series. In my opinion, Angelus was much better acted than Angel, Illyria better than Fred, evil Willow better than good Willow. Can you guys think of other examples of actors that do better as the bad guy than the good guy, in the same setting. Also, if you can give your thoughts on if you think that the examples are good ones or not, or why you think it is or isn't easier to act as the antagonist. Thank you for you help, my friend will appreciate it.
