Actors have a lot of fun playing total scumbags and it's great! A lot of actors also say villains are way more fun to play than heroes.
Villains have more to work with generally cause they're usually the ones doing the stuff that makes the plot go and have more complex motives comparatively cause a hero's primary motive is stopping the villain. Villains are generally active where heroes are reactive. This is cause most movies think the best outcome is a return to status quo for everyone but the hero who gets personally rewarded.
Speaking from when I did community theatre - Villains are also allowed to be more everything, which is just fun.
Great example is Fargo. Both the TV series and the movie.
Reminds me next Saturday I am reserving the noon to 2pm slot on bloop to stream the series.
