...where he does an incredible job: nuanced, loaded with humanity, and being able to transmit an incredible palette of feelings and emotions from behind a very thick mask which makes him practically unrecognizable!Lawrence Olivier makes a most scary villain of his character in "Marathon Man". And his Moor in "Othello" is still at the top, despite his non-blackness: that scene when he takes a rose, smells it and recites is priceless...
Derek Jacobi in "I, Claudius" is simply superb: he has left no room for anybody else to play that role...
And terence Stamp played the best role in his whole life in "Billy Budd", looking to a giant like Peter Ustinov, and to the well-seasoned Robert Ryan face to face, and not blinking: unforgettable!
Then Robert Mitchum, as the widow-murderer in Charles Laughton´s only, and most poetic film "The Night of the Hunter" becomes the scariest incarnation of evil...
There are more, of course. But these were the ones immediately coming to my mind.

Follow Ups:
even better in "The Collector."
I don't appreciate "Elephant" because it's such an ugly movie, with very little there to make one believe in humanity.
the Elephant Man has tea with the actress (played by Anne Bancroft--can't remember the character's name) is filled with human kindness and tenderness? It brought me to tears the first time I saw it.

I actually really liked him in his small role in Contact. All that dialogue he and Foster had on his plane was intense. Would also have to agree with Weaving in Matrix. One of only a few times where the monotone voice ADDS to the part. Loved his half-ass grin as Neo loses his mouth, that part was priceless.
