3 Faves: Jon Polito, Warren Oates, Patrick Warburton, Gary Cole. (bonus because both came to mind at the same time)
Tobolowsky, JZ? He's been entertainingly wormy in some roles, but stunk up Deadwood something fierce.
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I have four, mostly already mentioned:
Vincent Schiavelli
Brad Dourif
Harry Dean Stanton
Joan Cusack
I know there are more women, but names are escaping me at the moment. I'm famous for the spontaneous squee during a movie or a show -- "I know her! She's in everything! I love her!"
But I did enjoy watching people threaten his life, Corwood. Madonn', how did I forget the salami-brain? Probably because I always say "Look, it's Crosetti." Or for that matter, "Was that Giardello?"
Okay, two more women (I am blatantly disregarding the rule of three):
K Callan and Micole Mercurio
Jane Addams
Lois Smith
Alice Drummond
Addams played the ex-wife in Sideways and has been in a lot of indie films or tiny roles in larger movies. Lois Smith is older and has been in EVERYTHING. She was the wise older woman Tom Cruise visits in Minority Report. Alice Drummond often plays older, slightly batty women.
I forgot Eve Arden! Amazing in movies from Mildred Pierce to Grease!
Joan Blondell is in Grease , too!!
Shirley Henderson
David Straitharn
Martin Donovan
Timothy Spall
Jim Broadbent
I ADORE all of Sue's list.
What else has Shirley Henderson been in other than the Harry Potter films and the ShakespeaRetold of Taming of the Shrew (in which she was great, btw)?
