Their names aren't always remembered right away, but their talent sticks in your mind. They mostly won't be the main actor or actress in a film, but they sure know how to steal the show. They even might be the only good thing in a bad film.

Here are my favorite ones and their most memorable parts.

*No main roles here, only supporting ones!

For example: Joe Spinell was amazing in Maniac, but since he was the main character there, the actor will be here, but the film won't.
