    Jim Carey in The Cable Guy. I heard it was a flop but I really liked that film.

    Michael Rooker as Henry in Portrait of a Serial Killer.

    Dead eyed, out and out psychopath.

    It's the chilling, understated malevolence that pushes him near the top.

    Sid Haig and Bill Moseley as Captain Spaulding and Otis Driftwood respectively in The Devils Rejects.

    Treat Williams as Critical Bill in Things to do in Denver When You're Dead. Absolute looper.

    I don't know about clinically insane but in terms of being mad b*stard I think Wild Bill from The Green Mile deserves a mention.

    After the awful news about Kevin Spacey I figured it would be difficult to watch a movie with him in it again, I then accidentally watched two movies in two weeks that I hadn't even know he was even in - Baby Driver and Seven (yes I know I know I've never seen Seven it just really weirdly passed me by all those years ago!).

    Anyway to get back on topic I found him really convincing and crazy in Seven and he was also fairly unhinged in Baby Driver (terrible movie though) - such a shame he's a perv when he's such a good actor!

    Brad Dourif in almost every movie he's stared in, especially The Exorcist 3.

    Robin Williams, one hour photo and insomnia.

    A comic actor but could play a real creepy disturbed character brilliantly

    Oh I didn't mean in the op that they had to be diagnosed as clinically insane or anything Tony. Just a character that makes you say "****ing hell" :)

    He just has that 'look'.

    Doondock Saints springs to mind, insane not so sure but strange definitely. He certainly seemed to be enjoying himself.

    Tony Iommi Goodfellas. What a scary f*cker he is! "funny how?" .

    edit: just realized someone named him already but worth stating it again!
