I had watched an episode of Beat the Geeks and the Movie Geek was totally stumped when his task was to name as many actors/actresses who have played the Devil. He could only name 3. I like to see how movie fans here can name actors/actresses who have played the Devil in ANY form
Two of the ones he got were Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jm Carrey and for the life of me I cant think of what movies they did. Maybe someone can help me out with those as well . Thanks
George Burns-Oh God, You Devil
Laird Cregar-Heaven Can Wait(1943)
Walter Huston- The Devil and Daniel Webster
Bill Cosby-The Devil and Max Devlin
Robert DeNiro-Angel Heart
Peter Cook-Bedazzled(1967)
Elizabeth Hurley-Bedazzled(the new crappy one)
Harvey Keitel-Little Nicky
and that is absolutely all I can think of, I know I'll remember more later
Al Picino - Devils Advocate
Vincent Price - The Story of Mankind
Ray Walston - Damn Yankees
Jello Biafra - Some indie horror film whose name I don't remember
David Warner - Time Bandits
Yuen Woo Ping (I think) - Drunken Wu-Tang
That's all I can think of right now... Didn't George Burns play God and not the Devil?
i can hardly think of any movies with the devil actually in them! besides the ones already mentioned. there needs to be more devil movies!
didnt adam ant play the devil in a movie?? does tim curry count for playing darkness? and who was that guy that played the devil in highway to hell? and that other movie i think it was called switch with that ugly woman and that guy from that cop show where some guy is reborn into a womans body. some guy was being the devil in that! the only movies i can think of with the devil in them had a giant toy play the devil! or a big hooded figure!
love colleen
Jeff Goldblum _ Mr. Frost
Tim Curry in "Legend".
He was supposed to be the devil right?

Don't forget the toons!
Trey Parker in "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut;"
Alan Cummings (brilliantly) in "God, The Devil & Bob" (TV);
Mel Blanc in "The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie;"
and semi-non-toon John Ritter in "Wholly Moses!" (ew)
Patrick Bergen was the Devil in Higway to Hell(good call Paquita!), I'd forgotten that one.
Also, David Warner played Evil Personified in Time Bandits..does that count?
I think Kenneth Anger(freak) played the Devil in a movie.
And John Ritter played the Devil in Wholly Moses!
Jack Roberts - Terror Toons
Danny Elfman - Forbidden Zone
Gabriel Byrne - End of Days
Colleen Dewhurst - Exorcist 3
Rick Collins - Toxic Avenger 3
Stewart Harvey-Wilson - Split Second (it's not confirmed, but they talk pretty heavily about the creature being the devil)
Clay Tanner is credited on IMDB as the Devil in Rosemary's Baby, but I could have sworn that was supposed to be Anton La Vey

JLH - Devil and Daniel Webster, The (2001)
The only thing I could find for Jim Carrey was the character "Death" in;
High Strung (1994)
>and who was that guy that played the devil in highway to hell?
Patrick Bergen

Bruce Payne
Other actors who have played Satan;

good job, john L, you know your Satan Players. Here are a few more:
Harvey Keitel- Little Nicky
Rodney Dangerfield-Little Nicky
Viggo Morsten-The Prophecy
Al pacino -the Devil's Advocate
Keeanu Reeves- Portrayed the Angel, Lucifer, Devil's Advocate
not sure what his name was, but a migdet portrayed the devil in the Robert Englund Movie, Phantom of the Opera
Another problem is most people like to use CGI or something to make Satan (Spawn jumps to mind, I am sure there are others).
You guys seem to have taken all the good satans, but doesn't Gary Shandling play Satan in Deconstructing Harry. Its either him or Billy Crystal, not sure which (a woody allen film)??
Ernest Borgnine - Devil's Rain
Tim Currey didn't play the devil in "Legend" - he was just the Lord of Darkness, trying to please dad. ;-)
Bruce Payne - "Switch"
Vincent Price - "The Story of Mankind"
I believe it was Robert Judd who played Scratch/aka The Devil in "Crossroads"?
on that note: Daniel Von Bargen played the Sherrif/Devil in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
>Ron Glass played the Devil in a Twilight Zone episode as well, "I Of
>Newton"1985
I thought of that one too, but the description I found listed him as a demon rather than the devil.

I just remember that he made a bargain with a guy, something along the lines of three wishes for your soul, and he granted the wishes ala Bedazzled, and the final wish was "Get Lost". It's been a long time since I saw it, but I thought he was playing the Devil. Who knows?
MWAHAHAHA!!!! Jeffery Jones in STAY TUNED!!! AYAYAYA i thought of one!
love colleen
I was just over at Atomfilms.com and watched a film called Damned If You Do in which David Alan Grier played,guess who, oh I dunno, could it be....SATAN!!!!??!!
John Lovitz used to play Satan on SNL. Didn't Phil Hartman do him a couple of times too?
Ned Flanders was satan on a halloween episode of the Simpsons. Wasn't there a Satan character in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, or was there just the grim reaper?
Deena
>MWAHAHAHA!!!! Jeffery Jones in STAY TUNED!!! AYAYAYA i thought of one!
Actually, Jeffrey Jones played Spike, who worked for the devil.
thats good enough for me bubble burster
love colleen
Darn! As someone said, most of the good ones are taken, but, that still leaves me to mention Donald Pleasence in "The Greatest Story Ever Told."
Frank Welker is listed as doing the voice of Satan in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, though I recall the character itself just being a big special effect.
Double darn! I forgot a couple. One I saw a number of years ago, and one I saw last night. The one I saw a number of years ago was Sir Ralph Richardson in "Tales from the Crypt." And the one I saw last night was weatherman Al Roker, who played a character very much like Satan on the animated "The Proud Family."
