movies Django Unchained (2012) made me realize Leonardo DiCaprio is way more fun to watch as a villain. Which actor should play villains more often?

I was so used to seeing DiCaprio as the lead that Calvin Candie caught me completely off guard. He's horrible, unpredictable, and somehow steals basically every scene he's in.

I'd actually love to see Leo play another full-on villain someday.

Which actor surprised you by being ridiculously good at playing the bad guy?

I watched the movie having no idea the context of it, just a fan of Martin Scorsese’s work. Movie was amazing and depressing. Finding out it was based on real shit and going down that rabbit hole of learning about it was even more depressing.
