See also [[Affably Evil]], [[Faux Affably Evil]], [[Dissonant Serenity]], and [[Creepy Monotone]] and compare [[Wicked Cultured]]. Note that if and when they eventually drop this soft-spoken demeanor, then that's a surefire sign things are going to get worse. Contrast with [[Evil Is Hammy]]. [[OOC Is Serious Business]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Frieza from ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', in all but the Brazilian dub, where he had a [[Badass Baritone]] instead.
Line 47:
* In ''[[The X-Files]]'', the Cigarette-Smoking Man has a pleasant, avuncular New England accent. (Except for the times he has a pleasant, avuncular [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|Canadian accent]].)
** Most villains from [[The X-Files]], but in particular the death fetishist who kidnapped Agent Scully in season 2.
* In the ''[[Star Trek: TOSThe Original Series]]'' episode "Wolf in the Fold," John Fiedler played a serial-killing alien, and he spoke in the same tremorous, timid voice he used when he was playing [[Winnie the Pooh|Piglet.]]
* Adelai Niska, ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'s'' resident psychotic crimelord, can be very soft-spoken in the tone of a kindly old man. The fact that he does this while he's [[Electric Torture|zapping the living daylights out of you]], [[Ear Ache|cutting off your ear]], or [[Cold-Blooded Torture|even worse]] [[Complete Monster|things]] makes him ''utterly rutting creepy''.
* Marlo Stanfield from ''[[The Wire]]''. He's very soft spoken and almost never raises his voice—even when ordering the murder of a man and his family.
* In ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'', Lucifer is very calm, collected, and acts in a casual and gentle manner. He also tortures and kills anyone to get what he wants.
Line 54:
* Wynn Duffy from ''[[Justified (TV series)|Justified]]'' is a ruthless Dixie Mafia henchman, but he has a very soft, almost meek voice.
 
== [[TheaterTheatre]] ==
* From the Harold Pinter play ''One For The Road'', Nicholas is an extremely genial person who happens to be in charge of torture for his government.
* [[Hamlet|CLAUDIUS]]. Dear God, Claudius.
