Let's remember some character actors and other lesser knowns

Percy Helton, another guy who played in a boatload of old movies and tv shows. ( I'm watching a lot of old movies on TCM recently, no ads to annoy, nor any job to distract!)
 
I was just in a face book movie group wishing that the Suicide Squad movie was cast fully with actors like this. They're supposed to be completely expendable, but you know the minute you see the poster that Will Smith isn't going anywhere.

Linda Hunt was in everything and won an Oscar against Glenn Close by playing a male role.
 
Elisha Cook Jr. What a amazing career this guy had. He was in movies and TV from the 1930's to 1988. His resume includes The Maltese Falcon, House on Haunted Hill, Rosemary's Baby, Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, Wild Wild West, Star Trek, Magnum PI, and a host of others.

Pushing the "lesser known" boundary with Eli Wallach, but he created some great characters.
