Ora, if you are going to be a villain, go for upper mid-level villain.
Supervillains (Ernst Blofeld, Voldemort, the brutal dictator) are all pretty much the same. They want world domination (or the tri-state area, in the case of Heinz Doofenshmirtz), they are pontificating show-offs, and they are actually a bit boring.
Bottom level villains are usually just dim thugs (though British ones will sometimes hold long, complicated, philosophical debates) and are just there to be defeated.
But the upper mids are interesting, and usually much scarier or nastier than the super villain. Dolores Umbridge is utterly horrible (and Imelda Staunton gave a master class in acting), Bolo (Enter the Dragon) is terrifying, and Police Captain Menendez, with his polite, perfect, English, and his pencil-thin moustache, is the real danger you face in Mixambigua.
They get plenty of screen time, and, most of the time, pretty good lines, too.

That’s my career advice.
