Who is your favorite character actor out there? Could be living or dead. I basically think of character actors as you see them and say, "Hey, it's that guy!". They seem to show up everywhere but never really were able to make it as a star of film.
A few of mine:
William Fichtner Dick Miller Harry Dean Stanton William Forsythe

Well, there's the good times people like Frank Whaley and... "This is the test".
There's Bob Gunton and Clancy Brown.
And, Melvin Melvin from "Renaissance Man". Bokeem Woodbine.

I think Jeremy Renner is really good. Of course there's the Pacino and the Deniro, but I also love Kevin Spacey and DiCaprio (who's a pretty reliable source of great entertainement - unless we're talking about Shutter Island). Bill Fichtner is awesome, I mainly know him from Prison Break, where he was obviously amazing.
And I know Bruce Willis is not really a character actor, but I feel like something bad might happen if I don't mention him.

Jeremy Renner. Star of S.W.A.T. Always good times.
And, who doesn't love Fichtner? I mean, it's Fichtner! Fichtner always reminds me of James Woods who's also good times.

For the longest time, I ONLY knew of Renner existing in SWAT. Lol.
Now, he's everywhere and I'm becoming highly sick of him... =)

Let me tell you a little story about Jeremy Renner and me. Jup, he was the bad guy in SWAT, he was on Angel (with David Boreanaz - remember that one?) about ten years ago - that's where I first saw him. He played this really creepy, daddy-issue ridden vampire who was stalking Angel. He had a really weird beard, as well. Well, needless to say I was "fascinated" by him (read: obsessed) and I ordered "12 and holding", which is actually a really good movie, just cause he was in it. I then saw that he was in a movie called "The heart is deceitful above all things" and cause I liked the title, I ordered the book it's based on because I was too young for the DVD. It's been one of my favorite books ever since (and Renner is probably the best - and most disturbing - part about the pretty much mediocre adaption). So then he was in 28 Weeks Later and The Hurt Locker (nominated for a frikkin' Oscar!) and The Town and now even Mission: Impossible, one of my favorite franchises. And, I don't know, I feel really proud, which I'm aware is completely delusional. He's the man and I think he's really awesome and I can honestly say that he has fucking EARNED being this successful now, and that is a rare thing in Hollywood nowadays. Of course, now he's in Avengers, but I think I can forgive that considering all the good he's done. #JeremyRennerandmeEnd

Of course he was. He was like the main military guy. It also had Michael (Harold Perrineau) from Lost, too... =)
