Favorite minor characters?
We all have our favorite movie characters but I would think that they usually tend to be main characters. Either heroes or villains. But sometimes it's the small characters, the ones with only a little bit of screen time that help flavor a movie and give it that extra kick. The movie that got me thinking about this was True Romance. There's a load of characters that are in that movie that come in and make the movie truly focus on them for the minutes they're on. Floyd, Drexl, I forget Christopher Walken's and Dennis Hopper's character names. Even Gandolfini shows up and makes a quick strong and imposing presence. I have trouble thinking up of other movies with memorable minor characters. That's why I ask you...what's your favorite minor characters?

I've never understood why people consider that a spoiler. How come it also isn't a spoiler to reveal
are in it?
On topic, I wish they had given Albert Brooks a few clams during the making of Taxi Driver to shoot a movie about his character when he goes home from the campaign office.

Pitt and Armey are general characters. They're in there, they matter, they've nothing to hide for. That guy though? Yeah. Mystery.

It's not like the mutha fucka makes an appearance before the audience first sees him. He could be a sergeant for all the people know who haven't seen the movie.

You understand John Doe and Kevin Spacey are two different people? I don't see how knowing Kevin Spacey is in the movie (or that Kevin Spacey plays the killer) changes anything about the character and the movie, but whatever.

It's not even like Kevin Spacey was Kevin Spacey when that movie came out. What a fucking ego.
