lilORANG 06/25/19 8:18:24 PM #1:	Some people get described as character actors, when they're basically just playing a normal person with a different accent. But then guys like Will Smith who are mostly known for playing themselves have also taken on roles that are more unique characters, but you never hear him described as a character actor. --- #FeelTheBern https://imgur.com/q5z4CUu https://imgur.com/6B9oFXh https://imgur.com/sy42Dlf <cite>lilORANG posted [p:923844806] in What makes...

The X Dawg 06/25/19 8:54:06 PM #14:	That video was awful. A character actor is definitely defined as someone who is never really a leading role, but gets recognizable roles throughout their career. Brad Dourif would be a decent example in my mind. He wasn't typecasted as some serial killer, horror actor throughout his career despite playing a few. <cite>The X Dawg posted [p:923846393] in What makes...

pegusus123456 06/26/19 8:52:57 AM #16:	My personal take on it: They're an actor that's made a career out of being the supporting character. Their name isn't on the poster, but you'll recognize their face. You might have seen them a hundred times and never learned their name like Beth Grant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_Grant Some of them tend to play one type of role like Danny Trejo who is either "the tough guy" or "the guy who's not tough despite looking tough." Some of them have a much broader range like Gary Oldman who's barely recognizable between one role and the next. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?
