7) Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds

Christoph Waltz made Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds one of the most terrifying villains in film history. Known as “The Jew Hunter,” Landa was eerily charming, intelligent, and completely ruthless, making his evil persona even more disturbing at a psychological level. Waltz played his role with a calm, polite demeanor that masked his chilling brutality. In the opening scene, Landa’s casual conversation with a farmer before ordering the massacre of a hidden family sets the tone for his character.
