10) Little Bill Daggett from Unforgiven
Trending
Gene Hackman's portrayal of Little Bill Daggett in Unforgiven presents a unique perspective on villainy: he is a sheriff whose cruel methods expose his darker nature. Little Bill's charm lies in his confident authority and unyielding pursuit of law and order. Still, his wicked means and tyrannical character only make him more complex at the moral level. Hackman portrays such contradictions in this character himself, so the lines between justice and cruelty are blurred. Little Bill brought a refreshing sense of dissonance with the ideals of the West, which makes this one antagonist memorable for good.
