A thread for celebrating our favorite character actors, the people who aren't ever the lead actor but are often the most memorable parts of their films, who leave an outsized impression on you compared to the screen time they get.

This thread was inspired by me watching Commando yesterday for the first time in many years, and specifically for the first time since I watched Twin Peaks and The Warriors, and realizing that David Patrick Kelly has played every irritating little poo poo in every movie I've ever seen:
