    Default Character actors!

    Leading men and women would be nothing without their supporting roles. Perfect example: The Honey mooners. What would Jackie Gleason be without Art Carney: YouTube - The Honeymooners - funny moments


    Or The Outlaw Josey Wales. What would Clint Eastwood be without Chief Dan George:
    YouTube - Chief Dan George in Josey Wales


    Anyways, these are two of my favorite supporting roles acted by two of my favorite character actors!

    You got the idea! Who are your favorite character actors?

    I still haven't figured out how to embed youtube, but both Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef to Clint Eastwood's lead. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is one of my favorite films.

    Chris, just go to Youtube and copy the desired link and paste it into the message window on SRP. Like this example of the greatest of the Sherlock Holmes portrayals ...IMHO... Jeremy Brett and Edward Harwicke as Dr Watson.

    The greatest would be The Lone ranger and Tonto.
