Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men" ... 3 Scenes and he owns the movie, only pipped to the BSA by Gene Hackman in the "The Unforgiven"

2 great movies & 2 great actors but Nicholson was stunning IMHO

Would not say he was my favourite but Tom Cruise was hilarious in his cameo role in tropic thunder.

I would agree that characters like Ritzo in Midnight cowboy or Christoper Waltz's character in Inglorious Basterds were absolutely brilliant but although they were not the main or highest paid stars in those films they would clearly have been viewed by the film makers prior to release that they would be the main stars of those films to give just two examples.

Marlon Brando had quite a small part in terms of minutes in Apocalypse Now but he was made for that part and delivered his dialogue brilliantly.

Not often anyone steals the show from Clint Eastwood in a cowboy film but Lee Van Cleef came very close, maybe even nicked it in that film.
By:

Yeah, the Mexican (I think) you men the one who Clint used to shoot down from the hangmans noose for the reward money. He was very good too.

Some great characters excluding the main baddies from certain Bond films. Like tattoo ( think that's what ye called him who switched the balls in the golf scene and could kill a man from 50 feet with his hat ).
By:

When: 29 Jun 15 00:46
Yes Digdeep. I liked him too. I would never have forgiven Clint if he had not let him go at the end of the graveyard scene. He even split the money with him.

Little Ritzo completely stole the show from John Voight in midnight cowboy in my humble opinion.

Tarantino is brilliant at giving little cameos to forgotten actors and bit like being picked by Brian Clough they play they heart out for him.

Samuel L Jackson was really good in what was a small role for him and one of his earliest films in a movie called hard eight which interestingly featured a very young Philip Seymour in just one scene. Seymour was another great actor in non lead roles.

sorry your right digdeep. I was thinking of oddjob in that Bond film. I think but could be wrong he played a character called tattoo in Hawai 5-0.

Clough ( when he had Taylor with him ) was the best English football manager of all time in my opinion.

Made players a couple of inches bigger and few yards faster when he picked the in his teams. Who else could have turned the chubby John Robertson into such a brilliant player.

Too many to mention in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but special praise must go to...

Brad Dourif - Billy Babbit. Probable his only decent role besides being Chucky's voice..
Lousie Fletcher - Nurse Ratched. My ex come a close 2nd to her in the evil stakes..

The German officer in Schindlers list was excellent but still not as good as Christopher Waltzes character in Inglorious Basterds. His opening scene in that films was one of the best pieces of acting I have ever scene.

My favourite character in over the cuckoos nest was the old crabby one who thought he was something but not as good as the fella who kept saying hit hit Murphy in the card game. The big Indian fella had a pretty easy role to play.

Don't think that anyone's mentioned Dennis Hopper in True Romance.

But Goodman in The Big Lebowski is probably my favourite.
