240: Wicked movie roles

The following actors, listed on page 240 of The Billionth Monkey, have all played Satan or a similarly devilish character in major movies:

• Al Pacino plays John Milton (Satan) in The Devil’s Advocate (1997)  [John Milton is named after the author of Paradise Lost.]
• Robert DeNiro portrays Louis Cyphre in one of my favorite movies, Angel Heart (1987).
• Jack Nicholson plays the devilish Daryl Van Horne in The Witches of Eastwick (1987).
• Before he was Aragorn in Lord of the Rings, Viggo Mortensen was Lucifer in The Prophecy (1995).
• Tim Curry played the decidedly devilish Darkness in Ridley Scott’s Legend (1985).
• Elizabeth Hurley plays the Devil in the 2000 remake of Bedazzled.
