filkertomOn this date in 1914. Or on November 2. Or February 12. Sources differ. (Thanks for noticing the discrepancy, skunktaur.)
Who are some of your favorite supporting actors? The people who lift a film to the next level -- people who certainly can star, and sometimes do, but more often have the roles that actually make the film interesting. (My purest example is the animated movie, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which was chugging along pretty well until, halfway through, the Joker [voiced by Mark Hamill] showed up, and the movie just rocketed into the stratosphere.) I love Walston, Burgess Meredith, Patrick Warburton, Peter Jurasik, Maggie Smith, Minnie Driver, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Kathy Bates, Lily Tomlin....
ETA: Just when is Ray Walston's birthday, anyhow...?
