Not a groundbreaking selection, you can never go wrong with Ben Kingsley, but his role as Itzhak Stern is one of my all-time favorites and is often overshadowed by Ralph Fiennes' star-making performance.

I'm a big fan of supporting actors who are somehow teachers or mentors to the main role. To this end, I think my favourites are:


Ramirez in Highlander

And Mr Miyagi in the Karate Kid

(though I don't believe Miyagi's fighting skills came from Japan, I think he learned from the Fonz, whilst observing the awesome power of Thunder and Lightning).

Hm, interesting. I think I tend to like supporting actors who are problematic to the hero, or who create some kind of tension in the story.


Here's one I like -

Kevin in Meet the Parents

One of the best supporting roles I've seen is that of younger brother Michael in Festen (one of our DVD club films).

Thomas Bo Larsen gives a hell of a performance as a big baby, a jerk of a husband and horrible man in general. And the thing that is the most scary is that he is a totally believable character.
