Favourite supporting role?
Favourite supporting role?
Just thought I'd ask the symposium. Who is your favourite supporting actor or actress? Everyone has a favourite actor who's the star of a film but what about those who aren't the leading role?
I have 2 nominations -
Paul Bettany, Geoffrey Chaucer, A knight's tale. Brilliant, funny.
Samuel L Jackson, Jules Winfield, Pulp Fiction, robbed of an Oscar.

And in conclusion, how far had you got through reading this before you realised it was my signature?

Morgan Freeman, Red, Shawshank Redemption.

Didn't really like him much in the films but in the books the character of Faramir (LotR) is f***ing awesome
Eli Wallach, Tuco, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Benicio Del Toro, Dr Gonzo, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Samuel L Jackson wasn't the supporting actor in Pulp Fiction for me.

I wouldn't really say anybody could be called a lead in it though...Disco Nipples wrote:Samuel L Jackson wasn't the supporting actor in Pulp Fiction for me.

Christoph Waltz, Col. Hans Landa, Inglorious Basterds

Re: Favourite supporting role?
He won a Bafta & nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actor but yeah I agree with you. Travolta was supposedly lead. I thought was one of Bruce Willis' best acting roles. Harvey Keitel was brilliant as well.Disco Nipples wrote:Samuel L Jackson wasn't the supporting actor in Pulp Fiction for me.

Re: Favourite supporting role?
Yeah it's really funny to distinguish who's what in Pulp. I suppose I attribute Samuel to it though for being the most memorable and quoteable character in it.Alfie the friendly goat wrote:He won a Bafta & nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actor but yeah I agree with you.

Re: Favourite supporting role?
Christiph Waltz had been fantastic throughout his career. He needs a leading role now!
