Best Tiny Characters in Movies...



Although I think that role would just about have been big enough for a supporting actor nom if the Oscars would dare touch it with a barge pole. A slightly smaller great Lynch film role...

 
Levon Helm as Mr. Rate, in Shooter (2007).



Mr. Rate : The world ain't what it seems, is it gunny?
Bob Lee Swagger : No Sir.
Mr. Rate : You keep that in mind. Moment you think you got it figured, you're wrong.

I use that last line IRL often.

You sound like a weirdo.

Like anyone needs to be told not to take things for granted, unexpected shit can happen.

I doubt anyone takes you seriously, bro.
 
Those little muppet things in the Wizard of OZ were pretty tiny

Good call. I almost included Elias Koteas from the same film. His reaction when he's getting shot to bits is great. Rade Sherbedgia also was a small but impactful character in Shooter.
 
Bambi's mother played a pretty short role in her daughters autobiography.
The one and only deer to ever get their own major release movie.

Also Rudolph's favorite scene I've heard.
 
Take your pick from Blackhawk Down
 
Roles too small to get a nod for Best Supporting Actor, but where a memorable and impactful performance was given. Who else makes the all star team...

Vincent Schiavelli in Ghost



Joe Spinell in Rocky



Joe Spinell in Taxi Driver



Hugh Millais in McCabe & Mrs. Miller



Tony Burton in Rocky 2



Elias Koteas in Fallen



Tom Callaway in Young Guns



James Coburn in Young Guns 2



Maury Chaykin in Dances With Wolves




RIP, almost all of these guys are gone.

Props for Elias Koteas in Fallen, dude was amazing.
 
Brian Glover in American Werewolf

THAT'S ENOUGH!... That's enough
 
Rocket Raccoon is pretty small...
 
Donald Sutherland in Backdraft...



David Keith in Major League 2



Vincent Schiavelli in Better Off Dead...



Big Black Dude from Cruising...

Maury Chaykin was great in Owning Mahowney.

I'll add M. Emmet Walsh in Blade Runner

Schiavelli was the embodiment of 80's NYC molded into human flesh.

Yeah, like John C. McGinley to Oliver Stone, or Bill Paxton to James Cameron, he was Milos Forman's guy. Forman knew he'd struck gold and kept using him every time out of the gate.

or Michael Bay with Peter Stormare. When an auteur meets his muse and create magic together.
