There are some stars who are just naturally good at being bad, and Bobby Cannavale is quickly developing one of the most impressive on-screen villain résumés around. In Thunder Force, Cannavale gets to have a whole lot of fun with his conniving alter ego, the King. His newest contemptible character is someone who wants political and physical power as the leader of the so-called Miscreants.
This comedic villain is the latest in a long line of Cannavale's collection of screen scoundrels. To celebrate his newest movie, here's a look at some of Bobby Cannavale's most iconic villainous roles in TV and film so far.
Anyone who caught Cannavale's breakthrough role as Gyp Rosetti in Boardwalk Empire's third season may be hard-pressed to see the actor as anything but a ruthless psychopath, because his performance as the vicious gangster is truly unforgettable. From his very first appearance in the show, Rosetti makes his thin skin and penchant for violence known by clubbing a good Samaritan to death and stealing his dog over a very small insult. The character soon goes on a tirade filled with elegantly crafted insults and threats for everyone in the room during a kitchen scene that became an instant standout in Cannavale's highlight reel. Even at the very end of the season, when Rosetti finally gets his comeuppance, the character's short temper and wild unpredictability is on full, unnerving display.
In real life, Cannavale is a much more jovial and nonthreatening person than Rosetti, but the actor admitted to InStyle Magazine that his trick to crafting even his most devious characters like this is to bring a little something of himself to the role. The actor said of Rosetti,
"There's a part of me in there, a part I keep to myself. Somebody told me a long time ago that your character should always have a secret, and it's true. What makes someone compelling is what he or she hides."
As a result of the character's curious combination of brute viciousness and extreme sensitivity, Cannavale considers him to be one of the "funniest parts" of his career.
