Geoffrey Rush is amazing. He was stunning in The King's Speech (which is an amazing movie, too).

Peter Stormare as Satan (Constantine)- Best version of Satan ever.

While well done, and I love the performance by Stormare, I think that Rosalinda Celentano's performance in Passion of the Christ is a well done version as well, just for sheer creepiness.

Wait, the devil turns up in Passion of the Christ? Wow. (I've not seen it, but didn't think it was that unsubtle!)

Here are a few that spring to my mind:
Sean Connery as John Mason (The Rock).
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones (Raiders etc.).
Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden (Fight Club).

There are some interesting bits with the devil and demon children and some other weird stuff. Old Mad Mel adding some interesting bits to the story.

And hey, I'll give props for doing the dialogue in Aramaic as well as being morbid and creepifying

Whose shark-like entrance announces the most awesome tone change in cinema history...

(wee bit hyperbolic.)

A dramatic shift in lighting signals the introduction of the antagonist and the film takes on a darker edge where Ray Liotta’s character dominates the narrative.

Re: Best match of character and actor?

Ray Liotta rules so hard in Something Wild. There's no point in even watching the first half, it just pales in comparison to when he shows up.
