Andy Griffith could play a pretty good villain, too :)

Oh, YEAH!! I saw that one once a long time ago, I forget any details about the movie except it was absolutely TERRIFYING to see Griffith as a bad guy -- he was great! Kevin Costner (and I'm not a big KC fan) is an excellent bad guy, too, in a movie I love but which everybody panned, "5,000 Miles to Graceland." Another guy who plays a surprisingly powerful villain is Mark Harmon. He's downright frightening.

The guy who wins the "scariest dad" award, in my book, is Jack Nicholson. We all know how scary it was when we pissed off our dads, but can you imagine being "in the doghouse" when Jack Nicholson is your dad? Yipes!

I haven't seen that one yet, but I want to. Another nice bad guy role for Costner was "A Perfect World". Have you ever seen "Open Range"? That's a semi-bad guy role--excellent movie too. Best Western since "Unforgiven".

The one where he plays a big game hunter and "hires" a guy to be hunted, without the guy knowing what he's in store for?........Seeing Andy "the sheriff" Taylor doing that blew my mind.
