What These Movie Villains Look Like Without Makeup

It's not just the bald head and missing nose that make Ralph Fiennes hard to recognize as the Harry Potter series' Lord Voldemort. It's also the fact that, against all odds, the actor is fairly striking in real life. This is a well-known fact: Fiennes boasts a long list of appearances in popular and acclaimed films, in which his handsome face is fully visible.

Though Voldemort's face is decidedly different from Fiennes' own, the transformational process wasn't as complicated as you might expect. Temporary tattoos, false teeth, and fake fingernails transformed this talented actor into the most despised and unnameable villain in the wizarding world.

But here in the muggle world? Well, we know him from many places. He infamously played Amon Göth, a war criminal, in the 1993 film Schindler's List, a role for which he received several award nominations and wins. The English Patient gave him another set of accolades in 1996. More recently, he's starred in such well-known films as 2014's The Grand Budapest Hotel, 2010's Clash of the Titans, and the James Bond franchise, starting with 2012's Skyfall.
