Has anyone said Gene Hackman? Maybe even Robert Duvall. I swear, they are in about everything in some form or fashion.

Bruce McGill. He's played bad guys and good guys. He played D Day in Animal House.

Steve Buscemi is another great one. Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers utilized him to great effect along with many other great supporting actors in their films. Harvey Kietel, Walton Goggins, William H. Macy were all pretty good.
