Favorite character actor?
 

Okay... i'm going to be a little bitch and make you guys actually choose ONE actor from my fractured list, yet obviously write-in choices are expected and encouraged. But if you go off the grid, remember to cite only one name.

No damned lists! :sad:

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Of all time John Cazale.

or maybe Robert Shaw.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Okay my list/poll is already a massive fail. :lol: How the fuck did I forget Cazale. :sad:

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

This also constitutes a list. :mad2:

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Brian Cox.

Incredible actor and often gives thankless supporting performances.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

My favorite off of the list is Harvey Keitel, but it's close between so many of them.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Harry Dean Stanton

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Where's Richard Jenkins?

This list fails.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

It's hard picking just one but off the list I went with Steve Buscemi. So many great and memorable roles, even though a lot of them are smaller parts.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Of the list, Oldman. Also love Buscemi and Rockwell.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Michael Sheen
Jon Cazale
M. Emmet Walsh
Richard Jenkins

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

David Morse

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Well, Christopher Walken is probably my favorite of those I would consider character actors. I believe Giamatti, Hoffman, Shannon, and maybe a couple of others have transitioned to lead actors now. For a write-in candidate, I really like Philip Baker Hall.

BTW, who's Michael Dennehy?

Where's Titus Welliver?

He impersonates Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Robert Duvall and Robert Deniro as if they were auditioning for Al Swearengens role. :)

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

Almost impossible to choose, I'll go with David Strathairn. I'd love to see him work with John Sayles again.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

I'm not going to pick. There are just too many great actors on that list.

Re: Favorite character actor?
 

This. Brian Cox stands out even in small roles. I will watch a movie just because he's in it.

Re: Favorite character actor?

Re: Favorite character actor?
