Stephen Root is terrific, he's got a heck of a body of work. Loved him in King of the Hill, Barry, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?

 

[Motorik]

Too hot shit for this thread.

Incesty LoneStar! I'd forgotten about that film.

I've got it on my hard drive, reckon it's time to revisit it.

If you would have posted a picture from 5 different movies, it's hard to recognize him from one to the other.
He was also great in True Blood.

 

[GomezAddams]

Absolutely incomparable for over-the-top weird roles: Susan Tyrell (also notable for being a life-long on and off love interest of Herve Villachaize)

Closely seconded by the equally weird Meg Tilly

And this guy made everyone else he starred with seem funnier: Geoffrey Lewis

I debated which movie to use . Dodgeball was up there as well.

Albert Popwell

Yes he was type cast by Clint. Yes he was great.

Big Ed Mustapha

 

[Heartstring]

Ward Bond...

Dude was in every frigging western made for 25 years!

I met him in NYC once. He was in an Off-Broadway show, and I got to have a brief chat with him. I was waiting for the Mrs to use the facilities, and he popped out into the lobby afterwards. No one picked up it was him but me. Couldn't help but get all fanboi. NewsRadio is/was one of my favorite shows.

Bruce Dern, one of only two villains in a western to kill John Wayne. Laura's dad.
