Bill the Butcher is my all-time favorite movie character
Speaking of Olyphant, Wynne Duffy from Justified deserves to be on my list. If that guy had his own show, I'd watch the shit out of it. Best villain on that show period.
Oh yeah he was great on that show. I feel like I liked him in some other show as well but I can't for the life of me remember what it was

He was the drug rehab therapy doctor on Breaking bad I think. When Jesse dissed him in front of the group and told him that he was selling meth to all the people there.

Hi bar, lotta great villains on that show, both goofy and scary. Mags Bennett was pretty damn good.

As far as great villains, anybody remember "Wiseguy"? They had Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci and Tim Curry as villains in various story arcs, a form they pioneered. Tucci was particularly great as an Ivy educated, yuppy, 3nd generation mobster.
I've never seen Wiseguy. The name sounds vaguely familiar to me though

Jessup is great, forgot about Galaxy Quest. Definitely a classic of my childhood.

Morgan Freeman as Red in Shawshank is the one I'd choose off the top of my head.

Early 90's, a little dated but still watchable. Also notable for a much younger Jonathan Banks (Mike from BB) as one of the 3 constant characters, all the other castmembers changed from arc to arc, every 4 to 10 episodes. The one with Tucci also had Jerry Lewis and Ron Silver as father and son in the NYC rag trade.
