Malcolm McDowell vs. Nigel Bennett

[Meredith]

Who plays the better evil character....?

I mean we have Nigel Bennett in Forever Knight and also in LEXX, but we have Malcolm as Picard's Nemesis in Generations and as the Mr. Linderman in Heroes...


Who is more creepy/evil?

 

[Pilot Ace]

Malcolm McDowell, no contest, considering he was also Tolwyn in Wing Commander.

 

[JNG]

Nigel Bennett's LEXX character "Prince" is a favorite of mine, and I think he adds an undercurrent of humor to being the "heavy."

 

[Ruaidhri]

I'm on the Nigel Bennett bandwagon. Lacroix was just so awesome.

 

[js]

I adore Malcolm, but Nigel is always #1 for me.

 

[auntiehill]

Malcolm, all the way. A Clockwork Orange sealed the deal.

 

[Maestro]

This is a tough match-up. Nigel Bennett is certainly creepy and evil as Lacroix, but Malcolm McDowell has name recognition that Bennett just doesn't have.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Malcolm McDowell definitely had the creepier voice.

 

[Trent Roman]

Bennett. Even at his evilest, there's still something soft, possibly tender, in McDowell (which, I suppose, is good because it adds nuance to his characterizations). Bennett, though, as Prince or, as I'm watching him now, as the sinister CSIS agent Mannering in The Border, is pure slimy.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Malcolm McDowell hands down, no question about it--he was even kinda creepy (but perfectly nice) when I met him in person 2 years ago.
