My Top Ten Most Dispicable Characters 10-6

#10 - Mr Henry Potter (It's a Wonderful Life)

Driven by money and claimed as the meanest man in the county, Henry Potter is seen as being cold, manipulative and very apathetic throughout the whole movie. His fair or charitable gestures being part of a far more evil plan. Desperate on the ruin of the Bailey building, he even goes as far as stealing the $8000 needed to prevent the place from going bankrupt, at first he is about to return it until he observes Uncle Billy looking for the money that he accidentally left in Potters office. Realising at that moment just how badly the money meant to George and Billy, Potter decides to keep it with the knowledge that it would result in the downfall of them...at that moment you realise more than ever that Potter is a truly disgusting human being.

#9 - The Church Group (Cracker : Episode 2.2 The Big Crunch)

Kenneth Trant - Teacher, preacher and having an affair with a 16 year old student. Apon his wife and close family friends finding out about this affair and unplanned pregnancy with the student they decide to take action. The student (named Joanne Barnes) is not only having sex with the preacher, but has fallen madly in love with him. Instead of punishing Kenneth for this crime they instead hold Joanne hostage, performing painful Holy Rituals on her, forcing her pills and marking her with all sorts of holy symbols to absolve her. Finally needing to get rid of her so she cant talk of the affair or the torture they put her in a crate and try to use Mark (a mentally handicapped teenager who loved Joanne) to unknowingly have the crate shredded to pieces with her inside. All of this leads to Joannes death and the suicide of Mark...both to which the families appear to have no remorse, only fear of getting caught.

#8 - Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell (Prison Break)

Anybody who has watched at least the first two seasons of Prison Break would know that T-Bag is one of the most horrible people in modern day television. Convicted of multiple murder and rape, T-Bag got his own crew inside of prison, always preying on new weaker inmates for sexual needs...making time very difficult for them if they didnt agree. Agreeing would also result in huge embarrassment for them in the prison with them having to hold onto his pocket wherever they go and being the natural 'bitch' of the prison. Even after breaking out of prison, he continues to try and seduce and molest young girls, kills multiple people and steals all the money that the whole crew had been travelling across the country to find and refuses to give any of it up even though refusal to do so would result in deaths of a previous partners loved one. This manipulative, dangerous and devious nature sticks with T-Bag through the whole show and despite trying to change, he only proves to himself that he is just naturally an evil person.

#7 - Brother Justin (Carnivale)

This is a pick of mine that is difficult to describe, its one of those things that have to see on the show itself to actually understand. Brother Justin is basically a demon born inside a priest. He is naturally very friendly and after going missing for a long time, he comes back to his community being praised like a god. He is having his own temple built for him and lives in his house with his sister. He was always being cared for by his step-father Norman. After Normans realisation of Justin being a demon (in this show they are known as an Avatar species) he has a stroke and is struck with paralysis. Brother Justin continues caring for him in a very patronising way, you can see the fury and fear in Normans eyes every time he is in the same room. Justin is also using his followers as maids, and uses his forceful mind power to make them commit sexual acts on him. It all doesent sound quite as bad as some other villains but when you see the mental destruction of his victims and his apathetic attitude towards them once they are ruined...like i said you have to see it. Brother Justin also pins the murder of many children onto a good friend of his to protect his sister.

#6 - Ralph Cifaretto (The Sopranos)

Although i find him to be the most disgusting person on The Sopranos, the majority of my reasons all take place throughout the course of one episode. They all revolve around a stripper that works at the 'Bada-Bing!' club in Jersey. Ralph is having an affair with a young girl who works there. One specific day has Silvio come round to drag her to work, she is very pissed off about it and he starts slapping her around in front of the car, from the window you can see Ralph laughing at her humiliation and he simply goes back to watching Sparticus. Later on he is at the club with her and she is mad and runs outside, he confronts her there...he seems nice at first but at the end of his conversation gives some disgusting remarks which makes her spit on him. He then violently attacks her, punching her repeatedly in the face and stomach (remember she is a young girl and pregnant) then bashes her face across the side of the road until she is dead. He shows no remorse whatsoever and moves on to a new girl. There are other horrible moments such as when he teases the doorman Georgie and whips his eye with a chain. There is also an unresolves storyline of whether or not Ralph set his pet horse on fire because he hated paying the vet bills.
