But I have to say, his SNL skit "The Continental" and "Cowbell" always leave me rolling on the floor. I seem to like him better as a comedian.<BR/><BR/>Philip Seymour Hoffman is just incredible. I think the first thing I remember seeing him in was "Twister" as Dustin Davis and his part wasn't even that big, but I enjoyed watching him. It seemed like I saw him everywhere after that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-91351558994700823132008-03-15T00:17:00.000-07:002008-03-15T00:17:00.000-07:00Great lists from both :)Linny, I'd have your #6 in...Great lists from both :)<BR/><BR/>Linny, I'd have your #6 in my own list too.

But that was a special kind of lead role that required a character actor. Not a leading man type of turn. There are a few others that came to mind when writing this. Brilliant actors who have been primarily supporting roles but have had leading roles like John Malkovich, Gary Sinise, Kevin Spacey, and Edward Norton. Another great character actor is Danny DeVito. But he does not fill the screen.

Studios do not write a lot of good parts for supporting and character actresses.
