Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, the "character actor" has saved many a Hollywood film from being a complete celluloid abortion. Well it's about time that somebody gave these no name fucks some long overdue credit, and when I say "somebody", I obviously mean me.
OK internet, let's do this shit.

| indeed! |
1. In first place we have James Hong, a man who needs no introduction to those of you with any semblance of Not Being a Complete Fucking Deadbeat of the Highest Order™. Not content with starring in three of the greatest films known to man (Blade Runner, Chinatown and Big Trouble in Little China), James is the former president of the Association of Asian/Pacific American Artists (AAPAA) and has also guest starred in Airplane! as well as a classic episode of Seinfeld.

| pretty, pretty, pretty good |
2. Coming on in second place like the even more sociopathic twin brother of Larry David is Mark Margolis. He's probably best known as either the carbomb guy in Scarface, king of the greaseballs in the early seasons of Oz, Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad or some random dude in an Aronofsky clusterfuck. If they ever make a spiderman film with The Vulture, it's gotta be him.

| who farted? |
3. Perhaps the most renowned character actor ever (an oxymoron I suppose) is the late great JT Walsh. This man is the face of faceless amoral middle management within the law enforcement sector or military/industrial complex. He was in every fucking film ever made.
