The Devil, Satan, or Lucifer is often portrayed in film as a monster with horns, red skin, hooves, and a tail.  But sometimes, he’s just a regular looking guy taking human form.  But the devil doesn’t get played by just any old  guy.  Here are twenty incredible actors who have played the devil incarnate.

Omitted from this list are films where: his body is monster-like; he takes possession of a person’s body; was a demon of some sort; or where it was too ambiguous to determine if he really was the Devil.
