Benicio Del Toro's Favorite Villain: Robert Mitchum

As part of a gallery of modern screen villains, Benicio Del Toro tells GQ magazine in its June issue what scared him as a child: "Teachers. The dark. Being alone. Being somewhere alone."

He also chose one movie villain that frightened him more than any other:  "It was Robert Mitchum in the original Cape Fear that scared me the most because he was very real. Mitchum was like someone I knew and he overpowered the good guy—Gregory Peck—until the end."

Del Toro next stars in Oliver Stone's Savages as a ruthless, machete-wielding enforcer, who as co-star Taylor Kitsch told GQ , "goes around matter-of-factly decapitating people."
