Damn those are some good choices. I feel bad for not thinking of them.

I guess I could offer Mickey Rourke in Animal Factory as well...if the role is small enough.

But either way...Costas Mandylor was great in The Pledge with a small role as well. I don't know if anyone has ever gotten that much of his character across in two minutes of exposition about crime files.

Benicio was great in The Pledge also, might have to watch that again soon.

Oh Elias Koteas in The Fallen was great

 

[PBAC]

Yeah The Pledge should have been up for best actor, best director and best picture.

Richard Jenkins in There's Something About Mary.

Viggo Mortensen in The Prophecy.

Bend over...

Lilyan Chauvin was fantastic as the ultimate bitch nun in Silent Night Deadly Night. Nancy Fish was supremely sinister and unnerving in Exorcist III

 

[PBAC]

any side character from Total Recall

Yeah Benny is too big of a character but Robert Costanzo was good as always, same with Dean Norris. Marshall Bell / Kuato was maybe too big of a legitimate supporting role to qualify for the thread, but there were more good tiny roles. Robert Picardo as the Johnny Cab, the Recall salesman, Michael Champion as Richter's sidekick, the guy who tries to get Arnold to take the pill was very good, the lady with three breastises...

Joe Spinell fucking RULES

authentic new yawk as you can get

 

[revoltub]

Ernie in Scarface

 

[XNYHCX]

Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder


Bill Hader in Pineapple Express

I didn't care for that movie, but it was one of the first things that came to mind. Cruise was impressive.

 

[XNYHCX]

Only one scene: And the chant was improvised, and Leo's reaction was genuine (looking at director like wtf is happening)

Another great one. I have backed up that scene and watched it multiple times. DiCaprio's face during it is priceless.

 

[XNYHCX]

Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross or Christopher Walken in True Romance.

Two of the best scenes in cinema history!

I'm more impressed with Dennis Hopper's role. (And even more by Gary Oldman's.) Walken is always good. However his role in Pulp Fiction was especially entertaining. In particular the pitch fluctuation of his voice.

 

[gspieler]

Will Ferrel in Starsky and Hutch.

 

[XNYHCX]

Vanilla Ice in The Ridiculous Six (another movie I didn't care for).

Jon Favreau in I Love You Man.

The thug dude that's starting a new kung-fu school on Ip Man.

Colorado in Ria Bravo.

Jane Lynch in Role Models.

(All of these except Rio Bravo I watched in a tin can.)
