Among the trifecta of big-name stars (Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts), Stewart's Dr. Jonas is the sole Brit -- and, hence, the villain. 5 89

9 Count Dooku (Christopher Lee), Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
Star Wars villains and British accents go hand in hand, but Republic-betraying Dooku is a class of villain all his own. -2 116

How do you know Rafe Bentley is a villain? He's bald, has a pencil-thin mustache, and speaks with a British accent. -20 76
