Great Character Actors (from Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Action)

[Hand of Evil]

A friend and I use to joke about people you always see but never know, such as the Asian guy, long hair and long mustache, see him as a henchman in everything. Also in older movies, the big guy with that bread, been in things like Tin Cup and everything else.

someone else starting to see in everything is from Malcomb in the Middle, he use to be the Headmaster of the School, now you see him as some form of officer on the big screen.

They make a good living by being type cast, they are always working.

You mean Al Leong?

He's a stuntman, that's the reason for the henchman casting.

Another chronic henchman/criminal who has been on every cop
show or lawyer drama in the last 20 years:

Danny Trejo

Not that much genre stuff under his belt, though.

 

[Robbert Raets]

People, I'd like to mention thast you're forgetting that Tony Todd was on Angel (possibly more than once) and that Brian Blessed played in one of the MacGuyver movies and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves as Lord Locksley.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Not to mention that Brian Thompson is probably best known for
his recurring role in the X-Files, as the Alien Bounty Hunter, yet it
has not been mentioned.

A third face everyone knows. One of the hardest workin' men in
Hollywood.

Vincent Schiavelli

Buffy, X-Files, Star Trek... he's done it all.

Wasn't Clancey Brown on ER for several episodes? He was dating one of the surgeons or something.

And Brian Thompson was on The X-Files as the alien bounty hunter/assassin.

Ahhh... Brian Blessed:
"Second wave -- DIIIIVE!"

edit: looks like Viking Bastard beat me to the X-Files reference

 

[Viking Bastard]

Has noone mentioned the man himself? Bruce Campbell.

Like Tim Curry, he's TOO obvious.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Tim Curry, Brian Blessed...UP THE BRITS!

One day, in 50 years time, people shall be adding me to this list. Well, I'd like them to, anyway.

You've been on one of my lists since that "fool" comment...
