this is a tough one....because the answer is usually something like: you know that one guy in that movie - he was also in that other movie with Ben Affleck, and that Spielberg movie i think? I don't know his name, but he's in a lot, and that dude rules!!

Still snicker a bit when I see Shalhoub on screen...can't get away from him as Antonio Scarpacci in Wings

Steve "I may be ugly but I still kick ass" Buscemi
It seems no matter when or where this guy shows up in a movie it instantly gets cool even it sucks.
and another vote for Don "you need more Quads" Cheadle

A character actor is an actor who plays small roles with usually only a few lines but is more than just an extra. its common in comedies to have character actors in small parts. Gary Oldman and Steve Buscemi arent really character actors.

But he is not a character actor. Thats more of a cameo. He has starred in movies. Sam Jackson wouldnt be a character actor. Hes in True Romance for even less time. Character actors never have big parts like SMJ or Gary Oldman. They never get above character actor status.

although he switches from prominent film's (The Postman, Remember the Titans) and smaller roles (the if you blink you'll miss him shot in "Jesus' Son") quite frequently I really like Will Patton. Would he qualify as a character actor?
British character actor Frank Harper - whose characters include; Dog in "Lock Stock...", Films: "Shiner", "Bend it Like Beckham", "Tube Tales", "Club Le Monde", "Room for Romeo Brass' and others.
