44. Anton Chigurh

Appearance: No Country For Old Men (2007)

Creators: Cormac McCarthy, Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

Performer: Javier Bardem

Defining moment: The life-or-death coin toss. “Call it, friend-o,” insists Chigurh, impassive as a man counting old Tiger Tokens. You could say he is a fatalist.

Fascinating fact: According to co-star Josh Brolin, Chigurh’s bowl cut had Bardem complaining that he wouldn’t “get laid for three months”.
