Re: Who are your Favorite Character Actors?

How about Will Ferrell? He plays basically the same character in every movie, but still makes me laugh every time.

John,

Thanks for that. I have not seen any of those three films.

One character actor I'd like to mention is Leo McKern. He played a variety of roles but is perhaps best known for playing off-beat bad guys.

My guess is he is best known as playing Number 2 on the ground-breaking and influential series The Prisoner or the head of a religious sect in The Beatles romp Help! McKern had a glass eye which (somehow) allowed him to look a touch menacing in dramatic roles and a bit goofy in comedic roles. He also had a great voice and did a lot of work in commercials and a lot of British TV.

My favorite role of his was one of his earliest, in the lower budget film, TIME WITHOUT PITY. The role was both over-the-top and scary.
