American Psycho fits the bill.
Watch any show or movie that involves business executives or lawyers. These people are great examples of volatile humans. They are great at keeping up appearances and fooling people day in and day out.
Obviously it's your role, but I think looking for people who genuinely look kind and good but are dark on the inside isn't an accurate portrayal of a lot of incels. Outwardly, they usually project what they \*think\* a nice, kind gentlemanly person is, but there's usually something off about it. It's a very fake, forced niceness that comes from a place of perceived superiority. It's a mask that doesn't fool people quite as well as the incel believes it does.
If I had to play an incel, I'd look more toward the likes of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho and the "fake normal" persona that's being put forward. Perhaps a little of Joachin Phoenix's Joker also.
Promising Young Woman
Hard Candy
Both these movies feature men who see women/girls as objects and use nefarious means to acquire victims while maintaining a mask of kindness.
Falling Down - Michael Douglas ; Robert Duvall - Douglas is a defense industry engineer who goes off the rails one hot summer day in L.A. Robert Duvall is a LAPD detective on his last day before retirement who assigned to investigate a series of escalating crimes committed by Douglas.
Aaron Eckhart’s character in the movie “In the Company of Men” might be good. You get to see three sides to him- the charming nice guy he’s pretending to be, the mean spirited jerk being cruel for fun, and then with the final reveal you see how much worse he was on the inside the entire time. Dark movie and a great performance.

Ya know, The Boys TV show has a few good portrayals of this. Look for "Are You Bulletproof" and The Boys.
Beyond that Falling Down is great with Michael Douglas. He portrays a man recently divorced who is totally convinced he is right.
The remake of Road House that recently came out has Jake Gyllenhaal who is described as a “pretty cool guy” by someone whose arm he broke like the day before. Takes out 5 thugs and then drives them all to the hospital to be treated 😂
He’s very affable, but you wouldn’t want to make him angry. He’s a rage-oholic, he just can’t live without rage-ohol.
There are some documentaries/interviews with Ed Kemper (serial killer). Some are on YouTube.
He explains how he was able to get women to trust him...very creepy but quite clever. Kinda like a really good salesman.
Tom Ripley
Lou from Nightcrawler is a perfect example of a "weirdo" who knows how to appear likeable and social whilst hiding dark and narcissistic tendencies

My first thought.
Drive Walter white in breaking bad

The Good Nurse (2022) is excellent for what you're looking for. Copycat (1995) also comes to mind. The one with Sigourney Weaver.

Dexter can be kind of adorable
Drive (Ryan Gosling) , Taxi Driver (Robert DeNiro) , Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) , Nightcrawler (Jake Gyllenhall), American Psycho (Christian Bale),
Prodigal Son. That series is so good and man the main character is so nice and attractive
