Supporting characters you wanna know more about

I bet you know the feeling. You're watching a movie, some character falls into the story. Plays not THAT big a part, but you really want to know more about him or her!

For me, it's the Philosopher Ahmet in Midnight Express. Or for that matter the chracter of the same movie I always talk about: Jimmy Booth.

Anyone share my Midnight Express curiousities?

Any small characters you wanna know more about?

Harold ( Bricktop's right hand man ) in Snatch. The guy just looks like he has kicked some ass in his life.

Teddy Bass ( Ian McShane ) in Sexy Beast.

That big Evander Holyfield looking black guy wearing the cowboy hat in Cruising. What's his story?

Tip Tucker ( Matthew McConaughey) in Larger Than Life. The guy is so funny that you could make another movie just based on him driving his 18 wheeler throughout the country.

Perhaps the stranger from The Big Lebowski.
The guy who pulled out his teeth in 12 Monkeys

Can't really think of any others.
