(Anonymous) 2017-11-05 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)Erik/The Phantom of the Opera is probably the biggest example that comes to mind and his counterpart Svengali. Dracula seems to fit the bill in most incarnations. Guy of Gisbourne gets this in both 1939 Adventures of Robin Hood and the more-recent BBC series.
And how could I forget EDMUND ROCHESTER from Jane Eyre...in practically every version. Heathcliff might also qualify if you discount the "older" part.
Ivanhoe's Brian de Bois-Guilbert gets this when he's played by an older actor. (George Sanders in the film version and Ciarin Hinds in the 1997 miniseries definitely fit this)
Oh and speaking of George Sanders...his character Addison deWitt in All About Eve practically IS this trope.
To be fair, most of the characters that George Sanders , Basil Rathbone, or James Mason have every played are this trope. (His Captain Nemo is a bit more platonic version of this trope in that he doesn't really have a canon love interest.)
Anthony Head as Uther in BBC Merlin.
I don't watch Scandal but Fitz seems to be this as well. Ditto Frank in How to Get Away with Murder (though he's more rough and blue-collar than most examples)
Debatably Hannibal Lecter, Littlefinger and Tywin Lannister for GOT,
