Actors who've played Satan

[MrScorpio]

DeNiro and Pacino have each played Satan


Who are your faves?

[_testify_]

1. Max von Sydow in Needful Things

Harvey Keitel in Little Nicky :P

[Broken_Hero]

21. technically, Max, wasn't the devil in the movie...

it never went one way or the other...and bookwise, he is far from the devil...:)

[underpants]

51. Where are you from?

(van Sydow after a pause) "Ohio"

I love that line!

[MrCoffee]

2. Viggo in The Prophecy

[_testify_]

3. I forgot about that! Viggo is cool.

Although I can recommend 'A History of Violence'. It was awful. The only redeeming moment was Maria Bello in a cheerleader outfit.

[Richard Steele]

17. My fave too!

A small role, but perfectly done!

[BlueStateGirl]

4. Jack Nicholson. And George Burns, I think.

[asthmaticeog]

5. Does Tim Curry in "Legend" count?

I mean, they never explicitly call his character "Satan," (called him "Dark" or "Darkness" or somthing suchlike, IIRC) but everyone got the Devil gist. And he was amazing.

[idgiehkt]

13. beat me to it.

that movie was wacked but he was magnificent. I really liked Mia Sara in that, I don't know why she didn't become a bigger star. The only thing I didn't like was his gums clashed with his skin and lipstick, that is just a weird pet peeve of mine, same reason I can't watch Katie Couric.

[nytemare]

19. Any time I saw that, I wondered how bad his neck felt after filming.

Even though the horns were probably hollow, they had to be heavy.

[Broken_Hero]

22. Good choice! Damn, that role was

pretty damn good...:)

[idgiehkt]

27. yeah, he kind of got wasted in that film.

it was kind of freaky. Too bad Tom Cruise was in it.

[Broken_Hero]

29. I rather enjoyed it actually...

Curry/Darkness was the best part of the movie though...the way in which he talked, and the makeup/effects were great imo...:) Mia Sara...whew, do I have to say more? Cruise was so/so in that movie...reminded me of a somewhat dimwitted kid.

[idgiehkt]

36. that's what I mean

anything Tom Cruise is billed as a Tom Cruise vehicle and I think it had a lot of strengths and it's kind of a shame he was in it, 'cause I kind of think he's so-so in just about everything.

[asthmaticeog]

45. Yeah, Cruise was just a blandly handsome nonentity in that flick.

But Curry's ability to project that unique charm of his through all those pounds of makeup and prosthetics was such a joy to watch it really did justify the film's existence.

[Drum]

6. Peter Stormare, in "Constantine."

(also in "Fargo," as the Big Fella, aka Gaear Grimsrud)

[driver8]

33. He was great, wasn't he?

Gabriel: Son of perdition. Little horn! Swine! Most unclean!
Satan: I do miss the old names.

------

Satan: You're the one soul I would come up here to collect myself.
John Constantine: So I've heard.

Peter Stormare originally auditioned for the role of "Balthazar."

[Drum]

48. Briefly in the film, just that one scene, but I liked it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Gerald Mohr

If you can name the role, I'll give you... a shrubbery.

Hint: It was a teevee show, not a movie.



I'll even let you see his photo because I'm such a nice guy.

[wildhorses]

8. George Burns played both God and Satan in "Oh God"

[hfojvt]

32. was that in the 3rd movie

because I do not remember a Satan from the first two.

The funniest was when Will Ferrell was trying to give Garth Brooks a hit single in exchange for his soul.

I do not know the name of the guy who played Satan in the movie "Crossroads"

[wildhorses]

53. sorry, my bad--He played both in "Oh God, You Devil!"

meant to edit--got hung up in that other thread:blush:

forgive me?

:hug::hi:

[Spacemom]

9. Gabriel Byrne

in "End of Days." The movie sucked, but he was incredible.

[NewJeffCT]

10. George W. Bush in "Fahrenheit 9/11"

does that count?

[jmm]

18. According to Chavez it's the role Bush was born to play

:hide:

[rug]

11. Mercedes McCambridge voiced Satan.

[dancing kali]

12. John Glover

Brimstone

[Broken_Hero]

28. another good one

I almost forgot this role! He is a great actor...:)

[Aristus]

14. Bill Cosby:

[hedgehog]

44. I can't believe that poster!

"Low down" is suspiciously close to "down low". It reminds me of the animators sneaking R rated frames into the cartoons.

[Kutjara]

15. Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled

[BigMcLargehuge]

20. Peter Cook, in the original Bedazzled

[enigmatic]

24. I was about to post that

I love that film...

[u4ic]

25. Hi enigmatic!

How are you tonight, m'friend? :hi:

[enigmatic]

37. Hey u4ic!

:hug:

I'm feeling blehhh; I got a bug that's been going around the hotel last Sunday and I've been drugged-out on Ny-Quil ever since. I got admit though, the dreams I've been having are in glorious Ny-Quil technicolor, though!:) It's going to be pretty nasty outside tomorrow, I guess, so I'm going to stay home and cocoon for the day...

How's the new place?

[u4ic]

41. I'm sorry to hear, hon

:hug: <--just don't give me your cooties, ok? :-)

That's been going around. No fewer than 6 people I know have it, or have had it. I can't get it, or at least until the end of the month. Then I'll have time to deal with it.

Have you tried coldFX?

Hope you feel better soon!

I love the new place! It's tiny, but at least I don't have crappy room-mates any more!! It's a funky little old building, even has a veggie garden and a compost (how many apartments do you know in the city that have vegetable gardens??) It's a sleepy area, so it's nice and friendly and quiet neighbourhood, and really does feel like a small community.

It's right by my (unitarian) church, so it's not only close to there (and I'm there a lot, being on a few committess, etc), but I also already know a few people in the neighbourhood even before I moved in.

Easy access to downtown, yet not far away the Whitemud...all round, I like it. Thanks for asking! :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

30. Hey E!!!

Hope you're feeling better! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[enigmatic]

35. Hey SG!

:hug:

I'm drugged up right now, so I can't help but be:) How are you?

[SeattleGirl]

38. Ah, drugs!

Necter of the gods! I'm fine.....things could be better, but they are getting there, slowly but steadily.

[enigmatic]

39. Hang in there

:hug:

Good vibes are always on their way if you need them:)

[SeattleGirl]

40. Thanks, friend.

:hug:

[blondeatlast]

46. I LOVE that movie. the remake was pathetically bad, even though I love

Brendan Fraser.

[qnr]

16. James Brolin - oh, wait, he played that guy at the head of the Great Satan

my mistake.

[Left Is Write]

23. Not my fave, but probably one no one else will know: Dabney Coleman.

[patrick t. cakes]

26. al pacino

in something with keanu reeves:evilfrown:

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

50. The Devil's Advocate

I love that movie, one of my favorite performances by Al Pacino... it also stars Charlize Theron and Connie Nielsen as the devil's daughter.

[u4ic]

31. Rowan Atkinson

[driver8]

34. Dick Cheney! Oh wait...he's not an actor. n/t

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

42. Ray Walston in "Damn Yankees"

If musicals are your thing.

[kwassa]

43. Jon Lovitz on SNL

[MissMillie]

47. Sam Neil (not a favorite, I just noticed he was missing from the list)

I think it was the 3rd Omen movie.

[TK421]

49. It was called The Final Conflict...and he was excellent in the role n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

52. All These Names. And Not One Of Them. . .

. . .has gotten me right, yet. :evilgrin:
The Professor

[Lautremont]

54. Victor Buono in The Evil

He wore a snazzy ice-cream suit and everything.

And I can't remember if anyone's mentioned Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster. Another great performance.
