Stolen idea from the "Movies with talented casfs" thread. A guy that you would never recognize his name, but shows up in countless movies.

I humbly submit James Cromwell: Babe, American Horror Story, The Green Mile



Sorry about the picture size.

getting up in age, and perhaps not as familiar to the younger set, but the original, and maybe all-time "that guy" is

Harry Dean Stanton.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. WRONG!

There is only one ultimate character actor:

The late, great J.T. Walsh









He controlled every scene he was ever in. He made anything he was in better just by his mere presence.

He is maybe too famous now to qualify, but Chris Cooper was the answer for many years.
