5 Big Actors Who Played Real Life Criminals and Creepsters

Rob Lowe has gotten lots of praise for his portrayal of Drew Peterson in a Lifetime movie that aired this past weekend.  He allowed himself to look like a total creepster and apparently threw himself headlong into the role.  It got me thinking about other big name actors who have portrayed real-life bad guys and creepsters.  Here are just five of them:


1.   Charlize Theron portrayed Aileen Wuornos in Monster and it won her an Oscar.


2.   Robert De Niro played Al Capone for The Untouchables and he cracked some heads with a baseball bat.


3.   Warren Beatty was Bugsy Siegel in Bugsy and earned an Oscar nomination for it.


4.   Al Pacino played Lefty Ruggiero in Donnie Brasco to critical acclaim.


5.   Johnny Depp played George Jung, the man who established the American coke market, in Blow.
