I don't know if it's the same for you, but I find that all my challenges to roleplay a "bad guy" stem from my discomfort in isolating those attributes in myself. It's easy to play someone wounded, because I've been wounded. Or a hero, because I don't mind expressing that in myself. But a "bad guy," or particularly a bigot, goes against my ideals so much that I might actually pride myself on an inability to inhabit his essence. Ie: I'm so evolved, I'm sickened by even the idea of bigotry! If I stop making it about me, though, I find that even the most evil character is redeemable. Even bigots think they are justified, and even criminals see themselves as heroes.
