I figure actors are glad to take their money and run, regardless of the characters they have to portray. And I have heard that many of them actually prefer to play unsavory parts because they are a challenge. But I would hate to have had to portray "slimy" characters. It is one thing to be a bad guy whom everyone boos, and something else again to play someone that no one would touch with a ten-foot pole.
Ironically, actor Howard McNear (Floyd the Barber on the Andy Griffith Show) was a lovable sort on the TV program, but very often, because of his unique voice, played sleazy sorts on old radio programs, where he was one of the busiest of actors.
