JudyJudyJudy Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) They often make a dismal film far more entertaining for them being present it in. Often outshining the " star" with their acting and " scene stealing ". I was watching " The Invisible man " the now and noted the great and hysterical Una Oconnor. You might not know her name but probably will know her face. She was great in " Frankenstien" screaming like a banshee. However Karloff was incredible in this but she was great support. Any other supporting actors / actresses you like ? Edited October 31, 2023 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Also loved this guy. He seemed to be in every film in the 70s and 80s. Charles Durning . He was great in " Tootsie" too. Edited October 31, 2023 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 John Cazale in Godfather 2. The scene in the boathouse with Michael was simply incredible. Morphing into Vito Corleone from the hapless Freddo as the scene developed. Stunning. Watch it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Stockwell eventually made the succesful transition from a child actor to an adult one. Some dont. Joe Pesci is always value for money. Made me think of similar actor , the great Chazz Palmintera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Caine in Zulu. Tom Sizemore in Saving Private Ryan. Sylvester Stallone in Copland. Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction. There is an urban myth that Marisa Tomei didn't win the best supporting actor for " My cousin Vinny" as Jack Palance read out her name by mistake. She was up against stiff acting opposition such as Vanessa Redgrave , Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson. But she won it fair and square and it was just snobbery as her win was for a comedy performance. She was great in it. She got nominated again and has proven she it wasnt a fluke win.
