Though James Spader is best known for his recent turn as Raymond Reddington in The Blacklist, the actor has starred in many iconic movies that deserve more recognition. The past few decades have seen Spader rise to prominence with voice work in Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, in the 1980s, ’90s, and early 2000s, Spader took on many independent projects in a variety of genres that demonstrated his range as a performer. More often than not, Spader is cast as an unscrupulous character, which allows him to play the villain and have fun with his projects.
