Thread: All Things: Character Actors

Used to have this up, and it seems to have disappeared. No better way to start than this

AICN LEGENDS: Capone talks THE BRADY BUNCH, OFFICE SPACE, TALLADEGA NIGHTS, and more with the great Gary Cole!!!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

Capone chats with his gangster role model Dennis Farina about THE LAST RITES OF JOE MAY and more!!!

Another fave.

Peter Stormare LOCKOUT Interview

Stormare is one of the best at this. I have yet to see him NOT liven up even the worst movie.

some of my favorites:
Alfred Molina
Noah Emmerich
Tom Wilkinson
Steve Buscemi
William H Macy
Ward Bond
Philip Baker Hall
James Cromwell
Brendan Gleason
Viola Davis

Nice start...some of those lean a little into the lead category but still a great list. Philip Baker Hall is a real solid choice sir...MAGNOLIA, man that's a great movie.

Yea, Hall's been in a ton of quality films. (I really like Magnolia, also one of the few films where I don't hate Tom Cruise, Macy's also got a great character in that film). Dogville, Boogie Nights, The Insider...the man's just awesome.

Other character actors that come to mind are Alan Rickman (**** how did I forget him in my first list), Joe Pantoliano, Peter Lorre, Harvey Keitel, Tatsuya Nakadai (adgy can back me up on that one), Helena Bonham Carter, Tilda Swinton, and Jonathan Pryce.

Nice...drove past Jonathan Pryce in Burbank years ago and he was in a cramped economy car all pressed up against the steering wheel...it was straight outta Brazil. And you left out the one, the only Clancy 'Kurgen' Brown.
