OT: Supporting actors that made the movie.

[skysdad]

Ok it's a week before our next game , the board is a bit slow and I haven't had a thread in a while. Got this idea from the thread about our favorite Christmas movies especially Christmas vacation which had so many big names of future big names in it. Of course Clarke was the main guy and he should have been but what would the movie be without Cousin Eddie. What a supporting character he was and tons of quotes. So let's see what great supporting characters in movies of all kinds that really made the movie so much better.

Cousin Eddie is out since his character is what made me think of this thread. I'm going to start with Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump. Loved Bubba but Bubba died right there on that river in Viet Nam. Lt. Dan fought his demons and his character really helped Gary Sinise. OFC

As for TV- Barney in the Andy Griffith show. Once he left the show lost something special.

Johnny Depp in the first pirates is technically a supporting actor too

 

[hart2chesson]

Dennis Hopper as "Shooter" in Hoosiers.

OFC

 

[DukeDenver]

The Fugitive was a good movie. Tommy Lee Jones did a good job there.

 

[Mac9192]

Liam Neeson in Next of Kin with Patrick Swayze.

Heck yeah! That movie was filmed close to where my moms from in Kentucky love it

You are correct Duke Denver. If you were OLD like me you would know how difficult it was for Jones to fill the shoes of Barry Morse in that role. He played Lt Phillip Gerard in the iconic 60s series!

The first movie I took my wife to (when we first started dating) was 'Young Frankenstein'. I loved that movie from the first time on...just like I did my future wife. I don't think she liked the movie as well as I did at that time, but she has grown to love it over the years.

Anyway, back on topic, there are so many great supporting roles in that film.
Marty Feldman as Igor...can't forget the 'hump' switching back and forth from his left and right. And of course , who's brain did he bring Dr. Frankenstein...Abby, Abby Normal...I still crack up at that!

Peter Boyle as 'the Monster'. Too many hilarious scenes to mention them all.

Gene Hackman as the Blindman...only a bit part in the movie, but the antics with 'the Monster' were hysterical.

There are many more great performances in this movie. Just a great, great movie imo.

[topps coach]

Val Kilmer in Tombstone

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Jessica Alba really made Into the Blue.

 

[dukiejay]

Dazed and Confused. Came out my junior or senior year of high school and hit cult status when I was in college. All the actors were pretty much unknowns....Matthew McConaughey (sp), Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Nicky Katt, Parker Posey and more. Oddly, it kind of summed up high school, too....

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Val Kilmer in Tombstone

That was one of the first two that came to mind when I saw this thread. The other is Reginal VelJohnson as Sgt. Al Powell in Diehard. I saw recently that there’s going to be another Diehard movie coming out in 2018 and Reginald VelJohnson will be reprising his role as Sgt Al Powell.

 

[DukeDenver]

I liked Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York.

 

[DukefanKY]

I have two.....
One of my favorite movies is Tin Cup.....Cheech Marin did a good job staying pissed at Costner!

Another favorite of mine is Tommy Boy......David Spade did a great job being a sarcastic, snobby, brat with Chris Farley

 

[pisgah101]

Rocky balboa In creed

Anthony Hopkins in silence of the lamb.. only had 11 min crazy!

Being Italian, I must say Marisa Tomei was absolutely perfect, in My Cousin Vinny.

 

[DukeDenver]

Gary Oldman in the Professional

Chris Tucker in the 5th Element

How about Oldman in 5th Element?

 

[DukefanKY]

Being Italian, I must say Marisa Tomei was absolutely perfect, in My Cousin Vinny.

There are thousands of Supporting Actors or Actresses but these are a few who came to mind:

2-Ken Curtis who played Festus Hagen in Gunsmoke
3-Frank Sutton who player Sgt Vince Carter in Gomer Pyle USMC
4-Barbara Hale who player Della Street in Perry Mason

[DukeDenver]

Let’s not forget about the greatest acting performance of all time: Roy’s insistance that he knew nothing in the UNC Cheating drama. I left that press conference in tears.

 

[Canadian Dukie]

Colin Farrell in Horrible Bosses,Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold in True Lies

 

[df64]

The whole cast in Horrible bosses and Saving Private Ryan, probably the Green Mile too. How about Heston's cameo in Tombstone. One of the coolest 20 second bits ever.

 

[skysdad]

No television please. Let's just stick to movies. And pisgah Barney was the best.

Movies please gotta. Good television choices all of them. OFC

 

[HuffyJB]

It is like 3/4ths of the way into Apocalypse Now before you see Brando.

And also in that same movie, Robert Duvall has minutes of screen time, but is flipping awesome.

 

[dbav]

How about Oldman in 5th Element?

Synergy!

 

[dukiejay]

Supposedly she loves funny, quirky bald men.

Roy turned down Marisa Tomei.

 

[Mac9192]

The movie Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon and Robin Williams. Ben Affleck was a minor role there, and fairly early in his career.

 

[dbav]

The whole cast in...Saving Private Ryan

Especially Edward Burns IMO.

 

[dbav]

Martin Csokas in Kingdom of Heaven and the Equalizer

David Wenham in 300

Hailey Steinfeld in True Grit was pretty great. I didn't like the movie a lot, but she was really good.

 

[pisgah101]

Jack Palance in city slickers

Kevin James in Hitch

Leonardo Diacaprio in The quick and the dead

 

[Mpm277]

I liked Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York.

I mean, DDL is literally the greatest actor ever so..

Edit: Also, would he be considered the supporting actor anyway? He already had one Academy Award for Best Actor under his belt (he's the only actor to have won three).

 

[smashmouth5]

Dwight Yoakam-Sling Blade
Rober De Niro-Godfather 2
Patrick Renna (Ham)-Sandlot
Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar)-Oh Brother Where Art Thou
