While the definition of the phrase &#8220;character actor&#8221; has morphed and evolved over the years, as many words do, one thing it has never meant is A-lister or lead actor. Today, we often take &#8220;character actor&#8221; to mean those actors who seem to be in <em>everything<\/em> but never in a lead role. They may play kooky characters or they may just steal the spotlight, but they&#8217;re always a delight every time they pop up. The actors who make us go, &#8220;Oh, hey! It&#8217;s that guy\/lady! I love that guy\/lady!&#8221; like we&#8217;re all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/leo-dicaprio-pointing-meme-is-all-of-us\/\">Rick Dalton pointing at his TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was curious. With so many excellent character actors out there, I was wondering who might be the favorite of movie and TV buffs. So I asked Twitter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Which CHARACTER actor or actress always makes you happy to see them every time they pop up in a movie or TV show?<\/p>&mdash; Alisha Grauso (@AlishaGrauso) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlishaGrauso\/status\/1282813832495198211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 13, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me tell you, Twitter delivered.

Keep in mind there are plenty I missed, and there are others that might creep more into leading (or at the very least, supporting) actor status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Danny Trejo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"sl\" dir=\"ltr\">Danny Trejo <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KOkI2pFMPx\">https:\/\/t.co\/KOkI2pFMPx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Crossover Podcast (@MPearce6) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MPearce6\/status\/1283052546236526596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 14, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where you&#8217;ve likely seen him:<\/strong> Machete in the <em>Machete<\/em> movies, Breacher in <em>The Flash<\/em>, The Regulator in <em>From Dusk &#8217;til Dawn: The Series<\/em>, himself in <em>Muppets Most Wanted<\/em>, Romeo Parada in <em>Sons of Anarchy<\/em>, Mr. Perez in <em>A Very Harold &amp; Kumar Christmas<\/em>, playing a bartender in <em>The Young and the Restless<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jean Smart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jean Smart. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wMCkK6nr8F\">pic.twitter.com\/wMCkK6nr8F<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Gem Seddon (@gem_seddon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gem_seddon\/status\/1282897013768503298?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 14, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where you&#8217;ve likely seen her:<\/strong> Laurie Blake in the <em>Watchmen<\/em> series, Dr. Melanie Bird in <em>Legion<\/em>, Floyd Gerhardt in <em>Fargo<\/em>, Detective Sherry Regan in <em>The District<\/em>, Martha Logan in <em>24<\/em>, Carol in <em>Garden State<\/em>, Kate in <em>Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey<\/em>, Charlene Frazier in <em>Designing Women<\/em>, Dr. Criswell in <em>Project X<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doug Jones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Doug Jones! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aB4MJrn3jQ\">pic.twitter.com\/aB4MJrn3jQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Emily Kelley Kunin (@thatemilykelley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thatemilykelley\/status\/1282845518297591808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 14, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where you&#8217;ve likely seen him: <\/strong>Many things &#8211; you just haven&#8217;t known it because he&#8217;s always covered in prosthetics.
