I don't think Alan Young has played a bad guy. Even when it comes to Uncle Scrooge, he gives probably the most likeable portrayal of the character out there, A Christmas Carol aside.
Actors who never played the villain/never played the hero
Lenslady, you must have missed James Mason as Dr. John Watson (of Sherlock Holmes fame) in "Murder by Decree" or as Mr. Jordan, an angel, in "Heaven Can Wait."

I can't remember Paul Newman playing an evil character, and as you said about Clint, he may have played rebels con men and/or lost anti heroes, but not really evil.
As far as the opposite, I haven t seen a lot of his films, but John Malkovich played such a disgusting. Psychopath in In The Line If Fire, I can t think of him any other way.
Classic good guys (and gals) in my memory include Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. I think Jack Lemmon was usually a good guy and as far as I remember- good gals were Sally Field, Doris Day and Julia Roberts - you cinephiles can correct me if I missed something.
Alas poor Harrison did What Lies Beneath but I think it was the one exception.
Oh and wasn't James Mason usually evil?

John Malkovich definitely has a reputation as a bad guy, though I would consider his role in Of Mice and Men an exception.

His character in Being John Malkovich was pretty much an everyman. Granted he played a parody of himself, but nevertheless.
Charlie Sheen has mostly played either relatively good guys or "bad boys" that you still can't help but like. But he did play quite an intimidating villain in Under Pressure, and did an excellent job at it.

Bruce Lee was only a villian in Marlowe.
Jacky Chan was only a villain in 'Police Woman'.
Magnus Scheving was only a villian in The Spy Next Door.

I wouldn’t call Sheen’s characters in Wall Street,Major League, or The Chase villains.

I don't think Tom Hanks has ever played a villain, and he should. I never saw The Circle, though. Was he a baddie CEO in that?

In Cloud Atlas there was different timelines and he was the villain in some of them (or just one). Also he's not a "villain" but in Road to Perdition, he still works for the mafia.
And as written before, he's the bad guy in Elvis.
I just saw the movie with an eye, not really entertained frankly but he was the antagonist yes.

I've read praises for his performance(s) in Cloud Atlas, but I still haven't seen it. I also haven't seen Elvis.

I think Ryan Gosling has played just a bad character in his career, a neo-nazi but I don't remember the title (it's just a name if I'm correct).
