As a kid movies and television was a big part of my life. Before I got my first Nintendo I was either out riding my bicycle, watching television, or watching a movie. I was definitely one of those kids who had a television for a baby sitter. Not having a VCR or a Beta Max made it hard for me to watch anything that wasn't being aired on TV. This kept me at the mercy of local channels and really crappy cable TV. With that said you can understand why I am into all kinds of movie categories like Sci-Fi, action, and comedy. When it came to TV I will give almost anything a viewing once.

As time went on I began to notice some of the same actors in different movies playing a similar role to the last movie I noticed them in. Of course everyone has their own opinion about who's a good actor and what role fits them best. Here are some of the actors I've noticed in many different movies and/or TV shows that are worth mentioning. I believe they have a certain charisma that enables them to be in many different films playing different roles with the same characteristics, yet still bring a unique essential element to the picture that no other actor could duplicate. No matter how small the role these actors portray they do bring that "Evil Hench Men", "Beatable Villain", or "Comedy Relief" that makes the film that much better, worst, or unforgettable. I would like to see some kind of movie award created to show appreciation for being an essential professional extra, or something to that effect.

Everyone has an opinion and some people might now share mine. To me these guys deserve some kind of high honor for the small roles they play on some many great movies, TV shows, commercials, etc. Undeniable that if you were to watch your favorite movie or whatever and someone different were to play the role and you are used to see these guys in it just wouldn't be the same.
