My nomination goes to Peter Stormare in Constantine.
A small role but played brilliantly, if the devil exist I bet he looks like him.

The runner ups and honourable mentions goes to;
Gabriel Byrne - End of Days (1999)
Al Pacino - The Devil's Advocate (1997)
Robert De Niro - Angel Heart (1987)

There are plenty more
So who would you go with?

PS Best God ever goes to Alanis Morrisette - Dogma (1999)

Does Regan from The Exorcist count?

Although it's fairly clear from watching High Plains Drifter that the character played by Clint Eastwood is indeed that of the Marshall, who had been shot down by three killers while the cowardly citizens watched on, I like to think that he had made a pact with the Devil himself in order to come back to reek revenge. That's the beauty of all of Eastwood's films and of the Devil himself I suppose. Like Spacey said in the Usual Suspects, " the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist". Love the ambiguity and prevailing sense of doom and dread that permeates this flick, and Eastwood plays the demonic, nasty and vicious apparition with a cruel delight. So yeah, I'll go for that one, even though I suppose it's cheating cuz we'll never really know who or what he is.

ok both slippery contenders, is there others?

And my fave quote from The Exorcist is "Do you know what she did, your *****ing daughter?".
lol yes sir may may the power of Christ certainly compel you!

Or Robert Judd from a little known film called 'Crossroads' based loosely on the life story of Robert Johnson.

I always have this in my head when someone mentions the Devil. [Harvey Keitel in 'Little Nicky']

He's a very un Evil devil though Shaun. I think Al Pacino in the Devils Advocate, was charming yet evil so he gets my vote

I loved Al Pacino in the Devil's Advocate. His worst performance ever, but so unintentionally hilarious.
