I was just wondering, what are some examples of characters turning evil in regular TV and movies? Its such a normal and expected occurrence in pro wrestling, but it is common on dramatic TV shows or movies? I can think of a ton of "face turns" (i.e. Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi) not many heel turns.
What are some?

Though I haven't seen either the movies or the show, I read that the main character from the Mission: Impossible TV series became a villain for the first movie, if that counts.

Andy Bernard was top babyface in season 8 of The Office and this year is the top heel.

Also, do temporary ones count, even if it's by mind control?
If so, Tuxedo Mask in the first season of Sailor Moon.

Lex Luthor in Smallville, though i do actually feel sorry for him as his dad was a complete ass to him all his life, while his supposed best pal in Clark would never be honest with him, along with jonathan kent abusing him despite Lex trying to be a good friend and help his family. Not to mention Olly (green arrow) and his crew bullying him as a kid, he really never had anyone who was truly good or honest towards him in his life before slowly turning evil.

In the first season of 24, I remember being shocked as hell when Nina turned out to be the mole all along. Yes, if anybody watched the show from the second and third seasons, Nina was one of the villains, but in the first season, you really thought she sided with Jack all along.

Yeah, I was really shocked by that.

I can't sympathize with lex even through the flashbacks simply because there were SO MANY chances he had to redeem himself for the better and he squandered them. {Spoiler}Kills his brother Julian ..albeit it was a clone but he still had the chance to live a life with his brother.
Kills his sister in the finale
Ruins his relationship with Lana by faking her pregnancy and basically building the entire relationship on lies from the very beginning.
Kills a childhood friend in Patricia Swan And tons more...every chance he was given he screwed it up

Sawyer face turn on LOST. Ben's face turn, John's sort of heel turn
Vito's on sopranos. At first he looks to be moving in on Tony while he is weak, then he gets exposed as gay and gets all this baby face sympathy. Wonderful writing.

Luke on "The OC" was a heel at the beginning of the first season. He cheated on Marissa with Holly and had it in for Ryan. However, at some point, he started siding with Ryan with the whole Oliver thing and then you also were able to sympathize with him in some areas. I wasn't too keen on him having that affair with Marissa's mother. Probably because she was mostly a bitch, but then again, if I had a hot woman like that come on to me, I wouldn't say no.

Scrappy Doo in the first Scooby Doo movie. It was actually a clever way of dealing with such a hated character.

When he first debuted Ryan was a nice guy but had a heel turn when he went corporate, and also when he came to Scranton Andy was a heel that got Dwight fired but had a face turn after returning from anger management.

Avon Barksdale in Season 3 of The Wire. Seeing as how the Stanfield organization are bigger dicks than his crew, he goes from heel to tweener.
Tony Almeida of 24 goes through several turns in Day 8 Charles Logan goes from underdog face in Day 4 to cowardly heel in Day 5 and going forward.
