Decisions...Decisions...go see a bad Jesus actor or a bad Satan actor...
Marcythewhore says: Started out we were talking about the worst Jesus actors of all time. Now Jollybeggar has expanded the topic to the worst Satan actors of all time.
Hey, while we’re at it, what about the worst Santa actor of all time? Billy Bob Thornton’s “Bad Santa” had to be the most honest portrayal of Santa…(Santa…Satan…get it?).
I suppose the worst Satan actor of all time has to be someone who played Satan with a heart. You know, like a prostitute with a heart. Like Julia Roberts. Ah, well, if anyone can think up a really bad Satan actor who tried to portray the Evilmeister as being secretly a bleeding heart tree hugger or something……marcythewhore

woah woah- the zulu bit simply underscores the importance of having a star atop the christmas tree instead of an angel!
hey, being that so much has resulted from a friendly discussion of the worst portayals of Christ in film, lets go a different direction:best portrayals of satan?
i mean, we can finger some really bad ones like george burns in 'oh god you devil'(i think that george was even older than satan at the time), sam neill in 'final conflict'(is blasphemy more frightening when it is shouted in a subterranean cavern or whispered into the ear of a child? i think all that shouting is a counterfeit for venomous passion) or, most recently peter stormare in 'constantine,'(enough with the 'hisssss' sounds- we get it- like the white suit though)...but what about good ones?
this should be relatively easy because we recognize satan easier, and because he also shows up in movies that are not Bible pieces.my votes are tied: rosalind celentano (passion of the Christ) for her presence and her ability to rival david bowie for eyebrowless androgeny; and surprisingly, david warner (time bandits) for being able to carry off lines such as "if i were creating a world i wouldn't mess around with butterlies and daffodils... i would have started with lasers. they would have been 8 o'clock on day one!"
ps: jack nicholson ('witches of eastwick') doesn't count because he wasn't acting.
