There's a tendency towards sinister character so far. Understandable I suppose: they tend to leave a longer impression.

I was rather taken by:

Prop Joe and Slim Charles in the Wire
Mike in Breaking Bad
Lalo in Better Call Saul



On the good guy side of things, characters you steal every scene and you want to root for:

Andy Dufresne
Oscar Schindler
Prot in KPax
Han Solo
T500 in T2

Very few, if any, play creepy better than Bardem. This or Bond he was exceptionally creepy in. Him or Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs are probably the creepier people I have seen on any show.

That gas canister thing Bardem had in no country for old men would give you the heebie jeebies.

Kiefer Sutherland was a great baddie in Stand By Me.

Tim Robbins played a fairly creepy character in a lesser known but excellent show Arlington Road, worth a watch if you like thrillers.

Played a fairly creepy guy in war of the worlds too.

Henry Fonda played a great baddie in Once Upon a Time in the West.
