What are some of the greatest 'bit' parts in film?
Elmo Blatch in Shawshank Redemption has less of a minute of screentime and it's still one of the most chilling performances I've seen.

Gaff in Blade Runner comes to mind.

Reminder that for being so smart Andy was an idiot for immediately going to the warden with that story instead of trying to contact a lawyer.
This is true, but he's human like anyone else. He let his emotions get the best of him from time to time.
That's not a bit part. For example, the asian noodle stand guy in the beginning who says "HE SAY YOU BRADE RUNNAH!" stands out more for me.
Mr. Pocket in Buster Scruggs.
>be mr. Pocket
>be on screen for 0 minutes
>still most iconic character from the film
I'm excited for the follow-up where we'll discover who he really is.
To be fair, that story wouldn't stand up in court at all. It's entirely hearsay about some convict telling another convict a story.
Discounting that, the Warden and Hadley would've intercepted any tries for Andy to try to get a lawyer even if he didn't go to the Warden first.

beat me to it
it's just a movie bro
maybe "bit part" is stretching it but that one monologue the cop in Reservoir Dogs has is great
>i'm fucking DEFORMED man, they cut my fucking ear off!!
>*blubbering*
Like a second of screen time
I really thought he was a non-actor until I just looked it up.
>goes through that torture without ratting out the nearly dead guy across the room whom he knows is a cop
That shit didn't hit me until I watched it too many times. What a fucking hero for as much good it does for him.
Based
This. It really stands out when every other character in the film is a vile piece of shit.
Im gonna go get the papers get the papers
>tfw he starts pleading about his wife and kids then gets shot by Eddie a few minutes later
this dude
no better answer than this
two minutes and ten seconds of screentime in the entire movie. he's literally only in one percent of the runtime, yet it was such a memorable role that he built an entire career out of it.

The Warden off of Shutter as well.
Andy was a smart guy. With Red's help (remember the smuggling racket he ran?), he could have gotten a letter out to a lawyer easily enough. It's a crummy plot hole. A genius lawyer/accountant should have never trusted a scumbag like that warden to do right by him.
That's good coke
Just the audio of this dude is etched into my memory. He went big but he fucking nailed it.
>you're a big guy
>for you
Anytime Stephen Root shows up in coen bros movies its brief but always great.
The noodle cart owner in The Fifth Element
HE WAS BANGING THEM TWO AT A Time
The Skull from Scarface
Also pretty cool how he had the Terminator look several years before Arnie
I TALKED TO BARZINI
Yeah, he technically had a minor role in Rocky 3, but this is really the only scene of his that mattered.

Honestly, I didn't even recognise him while watching the film. What I did recognize, however, is that he effortlessly killed his (otherwise honestly powerful) scene. It wasn't a routine job of an elder actor, but pure and crystal-clear acting without any unnecessary extra.

I'm sad that I only just really discovered this dude about a year ago.
reminds me of this.
>non-actor

god damn that midget has a hairy back.
look at that shit.
its like tropical rainforest running down his ass crack.
The part when he says he makes a fresh pot every week is what really got me. He's so old and confined to a wheelchair that he has to make coffee weekly. Fuck man.
Sir Knight, I have just pissed in my... pants!
Why didn't he finish Vin Diesel off? Was it pity?
Yes, you can clearly see he feels bad for him so he doesn't finish him off.
