The only other actor I’d put up there in that category of very nice person who plays an evil git is Jack Gleeson. He really made us love to hate Joffrey.
Edit: And Imelda Staunton actually. Umbridge is the same energy and Imelda seems very kind.
Alan Rickman was a good dude by all accounts. I think it’s fairly common for villains to be played by nice people. Usually the complete assholes don’t want to play villains… don’t want to give away what they’re really like.
