While many actors excel as villains on screen, some of them maintain that intensity in real life. Their personal stories sometimes align with, or even exceed, the parts they portray. Here, we’ll look at actors who are just as terrifying off-screen as their on-screen personalities.
#1: Christopher Lee
Christopher Lee, who is best known for playing Saruman and Dracula, had an incredible military background. He was a member of the SAS during World War II and was assigned to the “Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.” In contrast to many actors, Lee had the strength of personal experience. Because of his background, he once corrected director Peter Jackson on the realistic sounds of violence.
