Your Favorite "Supporting" Actor?

[Moviefan2k4]

We've all seen them, those actors whose names you often forget, until they show up in yet another film you'd never expect to see them in. This thread is intended as a salute of sorts, to the men and women who have had successful careers outside the spotlight, and why you like them. Which "bit players" do you like, and why?

I'd have to say Clint Howard. Always smile just a little when he shows up on screen.

Funny as this may sound, but I like Ben Affleck. He is so much better in the supporting role then the lead.

Gary Oldman.

My ears perk up every time i see him on screen.

[Pirate King]

Walter Brennan

[Diesel]

Sean Bean doesn't fall into the "Hey, it's...um...that guy" category for me, but he is definitely my favorite, "Hey...HE'S in this movie?! " actor

Micheal Madsen best supporting actor around right now.
