William Henry Pratt (November 23, 1887 – February 2, 1969), better known as Boris Karloff, was an English-born actor who emigrated to Canada in 1909. Karloff is best remembered for his roles in horror films and his portrayal of Frankenstein's monster in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939). His popularity following Frankenstein was such that for a brief time he was billed simply as "Karloff" or "Karloff the Uncanny". His best-known non-horror role is as the Grinch in the television special of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Casting Suggestions for Famous Villains

You get to come up with who these infamous villains get to be played by! I give you complete freedom, so you get to choose any actors you want, dead or alive. If you suggest a villain, it is required to get a picture to go along with it, so we'll know who it is and what they look like. Try to refrain from using people that already played the role, if you please.
