Was recently watching a show on netflix and J.K. Simmons popped in. He is rarely a leading man but such a great character actor in so many shows and movies. Another one of my favorites is Stephen Root who was the judge in Justified, the crazy guy in office space and lots more. There are a lot of these guys or gals that really make the show. Bruce Dern is another great one. I am always using imdb when watching a show wondering where I have seen this or that actor before.
Who and what roles have you guys appreciated?

Clancy Brown is a good one. ![[Linked Image from thepropgallery.com]](https://www.thepropgallery.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/f9b1b3b86a055a9d42aacc5a91a21a11/h/i/highlander-kurgansword-sc_03.jpg)

Gary Oldman and complete list is too long but Slow Horses, Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, the Fifth Element and Lawless show a bit of his range.
Alan Arkin was great too!

Yeah Clancy Brown is a good one. He was great in Shawshank and loved him in the canceled HBO series Carnivale.

This guy was a good one too. Brion James. Was in a ton of stuff from the 70s until his death. A lot of B movies but some big ones too. Sometimes with a goatee. He was instantly recognizable but no one ever knew who he was. ![[Linked Image from famousinheaven.nl]](https://famousinheaven.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Brion-James4.jpg)

Who and what roles have you guys appreciated? Harry Dean Stanton. Even when he is the main character, he is still a character actor. Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Karl Urban has been good in too many movies to mention, agree with Stephen Root, and Gary Oldman is in a class by himself, IMHO.

He was instantly recognizable but no one ever knew who he was. I remember him I. Eddie Murphy’s Nick Nolte’s “48 Hours” and “Another 48 Hours”. He played a cop buddy of Nick Nolte’s and ended up being the bad guy that was trying to kill Eddie Murphy’s character in both films. And in lots of other good movies in the 80’s and 90’s. My two favorite character actors of all time would have to be ole Ben Johnson and Ward Bond.

Stefan Gierasch was good. Del Gue in Jeremiah Johnson, the mayor in High Plains Drifter, the principal in Carrie, many others.
