    Mary Lou has a touch of Irma Bunt.

    Pierce Brosnan...

    That's the first person I thought of.

    He played a villain in one of his first roles, in the superb Britflick The Long Good Friday.

    John Deleany. Im sure hed have no problem playing a fictional bad guy seeing as hes been doing a pretty good job of it in real life.

    And he was really scary in The Lawnmower Man.

    Actually Aidan Gillen a.k.a John Boy from Love/Hate would a good choice. Also the IRA boss from Love/Hate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,816 ✭✭✭skooterblue2


    Also the IRA boss from Love/Hate.

    Jimmy Smallhorn? I saw him on the Late Late show years ago proclaiming that he was going to be the next big thing. Shortly afterward a little known Irish actor Colin Farrell appeared in a Vietnam era drama "Tigerland".

    Everyone on Love/Hate had great roles and played them well. Shame It couldnt be said for the cast of Fair City.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,069 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    Jimmy Small'horn :p

    i reckon he got some slaggin at school


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,755 ✭✭✭✭Hello 2D Person Below


    Cillian Murphy full on bad guy would be a good choice for a bond villain very psychological in Batman give him a weaponised pandemic and it's Scarecrow 2.0

    Absolutely agree.

    When Peaky Blinders kicked off people fancied him for the Bond role but I'd much rather see him as a villain.

    Yeah he was very good in Cardboard Gangsters too.

    Actually he made a joke of that on the night. He was working with a director called Juan Suk, so if they had a kid he would be called Juan Suk-Smallhorn

    As bad as he was you couldn't imagine him doing any evil Bond villain stuff like being involved in organized weapons smuggling or anything like that ;).

    I always thought Pat Kenny and Get Loughnane had heads on em that wouldn't look out of place on SS uniforms too

    Agree with Smallhorne and Cillian Murphy

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Could easily work as a Alec Trevelyan type villain given that his arch nemesis was his former best friend who swore allegiance to king and country

    Has it been mentioned that there already was an Irish Bond villain - Andrew Scott

    Seemed more like a prefect from Blackrock College than a daunting villain
