Great Character Actors & Actresses[Author's note: This introduction is somewhat lengthy.]I was watching an episode of the Incredible Hulk recently, catching up on my Hulk viewing. As a kid, I was a big fan of the Incredible Hulk television series, which ran on the CBS network from the fall of 1.

Disney's recent trademark lawsuit against Phase 4 Films and their movie "Frozen Land" has reignited discussion about 'mockbusters,' the portmanteau used to describe a.

That show was awesome, was it not? Well, as I was watching Hulk on Hulu, I noticed this one actor [in the episode titled "The Slam"] who played a prisoner where David Banner was incarcerated on a charge of vagrancy. I thought to myself, I know that guy from a LOT of tv shows. So I did some research on www.

Hulk, and found out his name is Charles Napier. Suddenly, bells and whistles began to go off in my head when I saw his pictures, as I quickly remembered him from The Blues Brothers. He was "Tucker Mc. Elroy", the leader of the band "The Good Ole Boys", who had arrived in full Southern get- up at a country- western bar, ready to play, only to find that Jake and Elwood had already taken their musical gig for the evening [pretending to be The Good Old Boys].

A fine car chase ensues in the laugh- a- minute motion picture. A few days later, I was on the telephone, discussing Charles Napier with a friend of mine; I said, "Hey, do you remember that guy..", so on and so forth, and he began remembering Mr. Napier as well. Suddenly, my friend had a flash of inspiration, and he brought back to my remembrance another actor who appeared in 2. Mork and Mindy as Exidor. I looked up Exidor, found his name was Robert Donner, and suddenly began remembering him and having flashbacks from old tv shows and/or motion pictures where I had seen him, just like I had suddenly begun remembering Charles Napier. That's when I got the inspiration to do some research on the careers of these largely uncredited character actors/actresses who were every bit as good as the headliners who were the stars of these film and television productions.

I use the term "largely uncredited" because, although you could see their names in the credits rolling at the end of the television show or movie, their names were usually up there on the screen for such a short period of time, that you never really got the chance to associate the role with that individual. I wanted to pay tribute to these individuals I grew up watching. I always enjoyed the film and television appearances of these fine performers. Download Divx Mike`S New Car Cartoon more.

In many cases, their theatrical talents were equal to, if not better than, the main headliners [many of whom were hired for "star power" and not for their acting abilities to begin with]. Although these supporting actors/actresses did not receive the name recognition that their more famous co- stars enjoyed, they played their roles superbly and worthy of recognition.

In this blog post, I seek to bestow upon these individuals some of that recognition which they have earned and which they deserve, because you see almost no features about them in books, newspapers, magazines, television, cinema, or in almost any other kind of media except the internet. As you read this, you will saying things like, "Oh yeah!!! Now I remember him!!!", or "Wow!!! That's the woman from (insert name of tv show)". I hope this is as much fun for you to read as it was for me to write.
