Not all Large Hams have to bellow at the top of their lungs to make their hamminess clear. Enter the Cold Ham, who manages to be both a Large Ham and The Stoic. These types of characters are quiet, reserved, and may speak in a monotone voice, but they still manage to pull off magnificent feats of overacting. Perhaps they swing between the two modes, at one moment being quiet and the next being outrageous. More commonly, this trope comes about when a character delivers their dialogue in a calm voice while the actual words they speak are typical hammy fare. Dramatic hand gestures and flowery dialogue can help sell the effect. Expect the phrase "quiet intensity" to be dropped a lot when describing these characters. In some negative cases this can come about because of bad acting, with the actor attempting to overact but clearly they're just pretending. Compare Mood-Swinger. See also Dramatic Deadpan, Dull Surprise, Tranquil Fury. |

Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, especially with her tendency to appear out of nowhere. Everything she says is as melodramatic as it is deadpan, except in occasional cases of Not So Stoic. By the time The Rebellion Story movies hit, however, Homura goes the Love Makes You Evil way and from then on she embraces her once-restrained inner ham. | |

The Rise of Skywalker has him largely act this way when speaking to Ben Solo and Rey (with a a bit of the Voice of the Legion thrown in, unlike in his appearances in the previous two trilogies outside of a few moments in Revenge of the Sith), but he amps up the hammishness to Revenge of the Sith levels when directly addressing his legions of cultists. | |

Nate Grey a.k.a. X-Man starts out as a textbook Large Ham (unsurprising, given that he was raised by guerrilla fighters who disguised themselves as a travelling troupe of Shakespearean actors), but eventually evolves into this. One more recent quote, when facing one of the most powerful teams of X-Men of modern times: "You will break against me like waves against a stone." They do. Oh, and he's dressed like a stereotypical second coming, outright states that he IS the second coming (though that was part of a gambit to get everyone's attention). | |

The Sun Eater Hardian's father Lord Alistair Marlowe willfully employs this, preferring to draw in and captivate his audience by speaking quietly, even turning his voice to a whisper as he hands out one scathing statement after another. On ocassion, when not his usual bombastic self, Hadrien consciouly emulates the tactic. |

Devious Diesel, the main antagonist in Thomas & Friends was this in the early episodes. Ringo Starr's voiceover made him very sly, but he owns every scene he is in. He's more of a Large Ham in later seasons, but Ringo made his soft-spoken villainy work. | |

Jeremiah Valeska from Gotham. Compared to his brother, his way of speaking is much more subdued, though no less dramatic. Getting averted in season 5, where he's beginning to edge into his brother's Large Ham territory. | |

Shin Megami Tensei: Most awakening scenes in Persona 5 are triggered by extreme anger, with a generous helping of shouting and a painful scream as the new party member bloodily rips off their mask. Yusuke, on the other hand, rips his mask off with a flourish and opts for flowery lines delivered in Tranquil Fury. YHVH isn't as shouty in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse as his Shin Megami Tensei II incarnation, but manages to carry that air of malevolent tyranny with his elderly echoing voice. Though he straight up goes into loud hammy mode once he enters his second form. |

Gilbert from The Sandman (2022) is portrayed as a Quintessential British Gentleman who's always calm and polite, but very theatrical about it. Part of it comes from being played by Stephen Fry. Dream/Morpheus, too. Tom Sturridge is constantly speaking in a way that is emotionless and whispy, yet manages to convey all of the dramatic gravitas and weight befitting of a being such as Dream's stature. |

Mortal Kombat 11: Bi-Han/Noob Saibot delivers flowery threats and speeches but never raises his voice. And since his voice is a mixture of Creepy Monotone and Evil Sounds Raspy, he doesn't need to. The same goes for Shang Tsung. He's exactly as powerful as you'd expect a soul-stealing Kung-Fu Wizard to be, but Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa rarely ever makes him shout. He still ends up stealing the soul of every scene he appears in. |

In the first two The Hunger Games films, President Snow was The Stoic, and generally spoke very calmly in his interactions with Katniss. When he speaks to Katniss in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, he is much more openly evil, with a continuous Psychotic Smirk that borders on Slasher Smile, and he is clearly letting himself enjoy toying with her. Despite this, though, his voice remains soft, and his courtesy remains constant. | |

Dawn of War: The Chaos Sorcerer Sindri Myr goes for this, in what is already a World of Ham. Most of his lines are delivered in a slow, condescending whisper instead of the top-of-the-lungs screaming of most of Chaos, but he devours the scenery with his hamtastic dialogue, only occasionally raising his voice for emphasis. Dawn of War 2: Retribution has Spookums, an ork Kommando who is much more restrained than his comrades... and doesn't come across as any less hammy. |

DC Animated Universe: Batman: The Animated Series: Mr. Freeze speaks in a Creepy Monotone, but his lack of inflection doesn't make his monologues any less grandiose. In both Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League we have Darkseid, who rarely ever raises his voice, and even then only barely. His words are grandiose and fit for much more bombastic villains, but he never speaks above an even tone dripping with caustic amounts of contempt for whoever's listening. |

The Baldur's Gate II villain Jon Irenicus delivers his dramatic lines (a good example of his diction is "Silence, dog. You have no purpose but to die by my hand") in a cold, flat voice. It's quite justified, as he's literally soulless. | |

Harry Potter Snape is described as speaking in barely a whisper, but he nevertheless comes off as melodramatic. McGonagall also qualifies. While she's usually calm and collected, she nevertheless finds numerous ways to be the center of attention, as shown by her obvious enjoyment of startling new students by suddenly transforming from a cat back into a human. Incidentally, both professors are stated in the book as being able to hold the attention of a room full of students effortlessly. |

Captain Raymond Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine is normally very stoic and dignified (to the point of being Comically Serious), but his formal and serious way of expressing himself gives everything he says extra dramatic gravitas. And he does have, in his own words, a "flair for the dramatic." | |

Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII and related media plays at this in his various appearances, delivering dramatic taunts while keeping a controlled voice. For example, when performing his EX Burst in Dissidia Final Fantasy, his quote for the attack is "I bring you despair. Ruination to all," with him barely raising his voice. | |

World of Warcraft: C'thun is much more subdued and brief in his speech patterns than his fellow Old Gods, but his simple statement of "You. Will. Die." carries just as much power as any outburst from Yogg-Saron. Y'shaarj is quiet and hammy as well, but not to the same extent as C'thun. | |

Michael Corleone in The Godfather movies mostly speaks in a low, even, serious tone, but every once in a while he gets mad. Starts to bleed over into regular Large Ham around the time of The Godfather, Part III. | |

Durandal from Marathon has no voice or digital avatar, and communicates with you entirely through text and pictures. Through a combination of bombastic word choice and bottomless snark he is still quite capable of ranting about his personal philosophy, expounding dramatically about the weapons at his disposal, and conveying triumphant satisfaction at the destruction of his enemies. | |

The Rocky Horror Picture Show does this by way of Singing Voice Dissonance. Riff Raff is cold and calculating and most of his dialogue is in a quiet monotone, but his singing is very loud and dramatic (in "Time Warp" he rapidly switches between the two). He's got a lot of murderous anger under an unemotional exterior which finally comes out in a Suddenly Shouting moment at the climax. | |

Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. While Doom usually shows restraint, he still acts and talks in an overdramatic fashion. Reaches Fridge Brilliance when you find out he's a Toon and it's likely a sign of him failing to control his Evil Is Hammy impulses. | |

Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil games never raises his voice unless he is letting out an Evil Laugh and never loses his cool. By Resident Evil 5, he's completely stoic and focused to the point that he completely ignores Excella's advances towards him. Once Wesker gets injected with a serum by Chris, that's when he starts raving and ranting headfirst into Large Ham while Chewing the Scenery. | |

Ulfric Stormcloak from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim rarely raises his voice and even when giving a speech he sounds distant and subdued compared to Tullius (who is a standard Large Ham). Justified because of his Thu'um and training — the Greybeards he learned under cannot even say anything without causing their monastery to shake at its very foundations. | |

Fallout: New Vegas: While most Nightkins are straight-up Large Ham, God in Dead Money speaks for the most part in a calm but dominating manner. This is best shown the first time you speak to him in the Police Station, giving you a long speech about the situation and what he is. Ulysses from Lonesome Road delivers long, grandiloquent and florid speeches to you as you traverse The Divide, his voice is deep and throaty and dripping with contempt for you, yet he never raises his voice. Instead, when forced to discuss Old World technology or other topics he loathes, his voice becomes icier and betrays more certainty in his convictions. |

World War II: Host Indy Neidell's usual style of presenting is reserved, as befits the subject of a documentary about the war, but sharply and clearly enunciated, almost like a sober, yet enthusiastic news broadcast. The Talking Heads segments of Indy at his desk are punctuated by flourishes and gesticulation. It might have developed from his background in advertising and performing as a musician. | |

In both Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League we have Darkseid, who rarely ever raises his voice, and even then only barely.

Zonda is this in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, in stark contrast to her exuberant, flamboyant, and over-the-top personality in the first game. It turns out that she was simply hiding her true nature from even her superiors so she could enact her own plans and went so far as to fabricate a new personality and appearance (dubbed "Sumeragi" Zonda) to really sell her deception. "True" Zonda, in contrast, is almost eerily calm and serene, yet her words are just as theatrical and eloquent as she goes on speeches about love. Strangely, even after The Reveal, she keeps switching between Cold Ham and Large Ham depending on which form she's in, for seemingly no other reason than to get under Gunvolt and Copen's skins. | |

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: Starlight Glimmer is Older and Wiser than her pony counterpart and sees herself as above villain cliches acting detached and casual, but her inability to not monologue about something, long-winded manner of speech, Dramatic Deadpan one-liners, megalomania, and dressing like a Tetsuya Nomura villain complete with Too Many Belts makes her just as hammy in spite of that. Captain Platinum puts on the facade of a cool-headed and icy mask fit for a noble and her element but is ultimately driven by a fiery passion hidden under her stoic demeanor making her tremendously dramatic in whatever she does. When she undergoes a Villainous Breakdown she becomes a full-on Large Ham. |

The Evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is this, especially compared to later Disney Animated Canon villains with similar power and status (Maleficent, Ursula, etc.). She has a smooth, composed voice and carries herself with haughty dignity. This makes her transformation into the Old Peddler Woman, a Large Ham Wicked Witch who embodies her inner hideousness, that much more dramatic. | |

Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films almost always talks in a calm, almost monotone voice, and yet his threats and angry outbursts (usually at Harry) are delivered in such a dramatic way. It works at making him extremely creepy. His body language, on the other hand, is so intensely theatrical the character basically has to be doing it on purpose in-universe. Alan Rickman also did it in his debut as Hans Gruber in Die Hard. His Tranquil Fury demeanor always seems on the verge of angry shouting, and his dialogue is bombastically understated, behaving as if he had an audience to seduce with his culture and wit. That said, he hams it up during the scene where he pretends to be an office worker to dupe John McClane and a few of his scenes afterwards have Hans seizing the moment ('I read about them on Time magazine' or when he attempts an One-Liner Echo with McClane's catchphrase). |

Jacob's brother Joseph also rarely raises his voice above a creepy whisper, except when he's Suddenly Shouting and delivering sermons to his Cult, in which case he's a more traditional Large Ham. For a heroic example, Jess Black the Scarily Competent Tracker delivers most of her threats in a low, calm voice, except when she's killing people, screaming, and cursing up a storm. |

Reiji Akaba from Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. Reiji is eternally calm and collected, but when he duels, especially when he summons his D/D/D monsters, his facial expressions and shouts are as hammy as anyone else. | |

Far Cry: Far Cry 3 has Bambi "Buck" Hughes, a soldier-turned-mercenary who operates out of the Rook Islands. Buck, despite sharing the game with Ax-Crazy Mood-Swinger Vaas Montenegro and raspy-voiced Suddenly Shouting Bad Boss Hoyt Volker, doesn't raise his voice for the most part, but his habit of delivering Exposition-filled monologues, being foul-mouthed, Faux Affably Evil, and having a stereotypical broad, crass Aussie accent makes him come across as equally over-the-top. Ull, the chieftain of the Udam tribe in Far Cry Primal, delivers most of his dialogue in a low, raspy growl whenever he meets and fights Takkar the Player Character, but being a massive ugly caveman leader, he more than carries his weight in conversations. Bonus points for living in a freezing mountain cave and therefore being "Cold" in that respect, too. Far Cry 5: Jacob Seed barely speaks above a whisper, but every sentence is full of his grand The Social Darwinist philosophy. Jacob's brother Joseph also rarely raises his voice above a creepy whisper, except when he's Suddenly Shouting and delivering sermons to his Cult, in which case he's a more traditional Large Ham. For a heroic example, Jess Black the Scarily Competent Tracker delivers most of her threats in a low, calm voice, except when she's killing people, screaming, and cursing up a storm. |

Pennywise in It (2017) - to explain how the Monster Clown is portrayed, Tim Curry in the 1990 adaptation focused on the second word with his Chewing the Scenery performance, but Bill Skarsgard certainly wants to be the former with a more contained and scarier performance (while still keeping the Black Comedy and overwrought speech one would expect from a clown that wants to scare children ). | |

In the John Wick films, Keanu Reeves' portrayal of the titular character rarely, if ever, has him raise his voice. However, nearly every line he delivers is filled with intense, quiet, and barely contained rage that only occasionally slips out. | |

DC Extended Universe: Man of Steel has Zod as a hot-and-cold running ham. His quiet lines put emphasis on specific words, giving them as much of a dramatic flair as his loud ones. The Big Bad of Suicide Squad (2016) is Enchantress. The lines are overtly dramatic as expected from a villain, but not delivered with full force given Cara Delevigne's Dull Surprise. Zack Snyder's Justice League: The film's version of Steppenwolf is much less boastful than his 2017 counterpart, while still talking with gravitas. |

Most of the time, Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super has a calm and soft voice and speech patterns, while at the same time carrying a lot of weight, like his entire monologue after transforming into Super Saiyan Rosé is all about how beautiful he has become and how he's at a realm that no mortal can reach, all without him raising his voice much. He also declares to Future Zamasu that he will kill Goku, all with only a slight vocal change. Earlier, when he tells Future Trunks why he's killing humans, he did it with a huge slasher grin and wide-eyed with madness, and his voice didn't raise in volume. | |

Devil May Cry: Vergil is a badass swordsman who can talk just as much trash as his twin brother, all in a cool, calm tone that just oozes with pride. Some of his taunts are the most iconic in the franchise's history. Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening features Arkham, who is notable for his frequent monologues, of which most are done in a calm, collected manner, with the exception of the reveal of his plan at the end of Mission 13. |

Steve Strange from Visage turned this into an art-form; he managed to be pompous and melodramatic while having a monotone singing voice and almost never being photographed cracking a smile, the hamminess mostly coming from his...interesting fashion sense.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure villains tend to be extremely controlled and stoic, but right below the surface is a truckload of hamminess and eccentricity. DIO in particular tends to be extremely nonchalant over spectacular displays of villainy.

Game of Thrones: Jaquen H'ghar speaks in a very theatrical, yet subdued manner. Combined with his very unusual speech pattern, this makes him stand out among other characters in the show. Aeron Greyjoy tends to speak in a very cold and stable tone of voice, but his baritone voice combined with his resonating speeches about the drowned god make him a very over-the-top man. Melisandre. In normal conversations, her speech mannerisms are theatrically subdued but still full of gravitas. Every time she's doing ceremonies or preaching about the Lord of Light, however, she goes full-on Large Ham. |

Pirates of the Caribbean Black Beard /Edward Teach from the fourth film. He manages to have great dramatic gravitas while being reserved, serving as a nice fusion of Large Ham villains Barbossa & Davy Jones and Soft-Spoken Sadist Big Bad Cutler Beckett. The fifth movie has Javier Bardem as an undead pirate hunter. He's deep-voiced and intense in his hatred but never goes full ham. Lord Cutler Beckett in the 2nd and 3rd films. Though he speaks in a subdued voice, the content of his words ooze with a brazenly, smug sliminess. |

The Master Chief is, true to the original material, calm and collected, especially in comparison to his opponent Leonidas. He can still bring the drama. J. Robert Oppenheimer rarely raises his voice above an exhausted monotone, but his My God, What Have I Done? attitude with an accompanying Thousand-Yard Stare gives him a rap presence that outshines Thanos. |

Sutekh the Destroyer, from the Doctor Who episode "Pyramids of Mars", manages to out-ham Tom Baker without ever raising his voice above a malevolent whisper. When he's not being shouty, Davros can be this, breaking two Doctors without even raising his voice. Of course, when he raises his voice, he's a very Large Ham. Like Davros, the Master can flip-flop between varieties of ham with alarming frequency. They are somehow even more hammy when they're being quiet, take Ainley in "Survival" or Sacha Dhawan's Masterly reveal on the airplane. Zellin from "Can You Hear Me?" never raises his voice to the Doctor, but he still chews the scenery when he's on screen, having way too much fun torturing the Doctor quietly. Knowing he is a Physical God helps in that department. |

In Hades, this is pretty common for the Cthonic gods. Of them, Thanatos is the most prominent. He never raises his voice and seems to be trying to cultivate a cool, professional, and aloof demeanor, but his passionate emotions cannot help but shine through as he fires off hammy one-liners. It gets especially bad when his Emotionally Tongue-Tied, Tsundere side comes out. | |

Coach Beard from Ted Lasso. He may be quite reserved, but he has no problem indulging in faux-dramatic behaviour and silly facial expressions. | |

Damodar from the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) movie speaks and moves very stoically with long dramatic pauses in the middle of sentences, yet puts an emphasis on everything he does that just screams "ham". Quite a contrast to Profion's straightforward scenery chewing. | |

Once Upon a Time: While in his Dark One form Mr Gold/Rumpelstiltskin acts like a normal Large Ham. In his human form, he's a lot more restrained, but his words have no less emphasis. Jafar isn't as hammy as his Disney counterpart, but delivers highly dramatic lines in a normal voice, like sneaking into the room and saying "Defeat the Royal Vizier? That sounds like treason to me." |

Christopher Plumber as the Emperor of the Galaxy in Starcrash never raises his voice and barely even expresses emotion. However, through a commanding presence and a mastery of the Dramatic Pause that would make Shatner blush, he steals every scene that he's in. He contrasts nicely with his enemy Count Zarth Arn, a more conventional ham. | |

While Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is well known as a classic Large Ham, his reboot/Alternate Universe counterpart from Boom Studios comics has cooled his hamminess down quite a bit. He's every bit as snarky, cynical, and overly-dramatic as always, but he's a lot calmer and with more self-control. His big moments of drama are if possible even more over-the-top than before, but he does them in a much more stoic fashion. To illustrate the difference: When the Spike of the TV show tried to commit suicide, he was in tears all the while and tried to fall on a stake. When the Spike of the comics tries to commit suicide, he calmly spouts some dramatic dialogue and flings himself off a tall building, finishing his melodramatic tirade with "Let's see if I can hit that Benz." |

For Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Klaus Kinski would have played the title character as a screeching lunatic. Director Werner Herzog wanted a Tranquil Fury performance instead, and got it by provoking Kinski to bursts of rage prior to filming, tiring him out. The result is Aguirre quietly snarling with a manic stare through most of the film. | |

Ace Attorney: Whoever isn't just a straight-up Large Ham is probably one of these. It's that kind of series. Godot maintains a calm and suave courtroom demeanor, but he also likes making incomprehensible coffee metaphors in the middle of court and will occasionally throw his coffee mugs at the defense when angered. Nahyuta Sadhmadhi maintains his polite monkly demeanor while telling the defense exactly which highly specific hell they'll be going to for daring to oppose him. He'll also occasionally throw his prayer beads at people. In The Great Ace Attorney, Barok van Zieks's courtroom demeanor is a comical combination of gentlemanly, calmly delivered sarcasm and outlandish physical displays of anger through Percussive Therapy, usually at the same time. |

When they are prone to a Skyward Scream on the regular, their usual tone of voice is low, monotone, and icy most of the time while maintaining all of the intensity, presence, and authority expected of a king and judge. | |

Some of his other performances are also along these lines: in House on Haunted Hill (1959), for instance, Frederick Loren rarely raises his voice and doesn't go for the maniacal laughter, but still has a distinct flair for the dramatic. Though he also played characters (especially in his more comedic films) whose ham was very much not cold. | |

Tempest Shadow from My Little Pony: The Movie (2017). She doesn't raise her voice often, but she manages to be over-the-top and threatening while speaking in hushed, stoic tones. Typically, when she's really about to turn up the ham, she'll sport a Slasher Smile. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Xemnas is a Trope Codifier, delivering sweeping hand gestures and dramatic speeches with a monotone voice. The reason is that he's the Nobody of Xehanort, and thus while Xemnas has no heart he retains his original self's personality traits and memories; Xehanort was a typical Large Ham, so Xemnas emulates his past self's behaviors but without putting any emotion into them. Marluxia from Chain of Memories and the Unknown from Birth by Sleep/Dream Drop Distance are also prone to using flowery language without emoting much, if at all. Whereas the former is The Stoic due to also being a Nobody, beings who are purported to be unable to feel actual emotions and thus fake it, the latter's case is far more complicated: He is the time-displaced younger self of Xehanort's original incarnation, enlisted by his various alter-egos to traverse time and space in order to further their plans, which in turn set up a Stable Time Loop spanning to the present day wherein Xehanort is responsible for his own Start of Darkness. The rules of time travel state one cannot change events meant to happen, so Young Xehanort believes that, even if he did know the full extent of what he was getting himself into, he'd have no say in the matter. As such, and because he'll lose the memories of what he's witnessed upon returning to his time, this Xehanort has little reason to be invested in his mission, making him a surprisingly impersonal adversary to the heroes. Master Xehanort himself is normally a textbook Large Ham when voiced by Leonard Nimoy in Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance and Christopher Lloyd in Kingdom Hearts III: Re��Mind onwards. In contrast, when voiced by Rutger Hauer in Kingdom Hearts III, he sounds calmer and softer, yet still speaks in theatrical, eloquent monologues. |
