    What the 70s would have done for questionable figures who seem to be well disposed to the lead actor without this guy is hard to know

    John Vernon will always try to stab you in the back.

    Desperate low level scumbag who will always let his boss down and be generally snivelling when confronted or slightly nervous friendly type.

    Peter Cook, who went from stand up comedy fame to cameo in Supergirl and The Princess Bride!

    Seriously? He was very, very famous.

    Dublin born actor Derrick O'Connor was the main South African heavy in Lethal Weapon 2. He has been in a few other things as well, such as Hope & Glory and End of Days.

    I suppose they were all well known within their own circles at one point... I gather that's the point of the thread! :)

    Hes another anonyomous henchman who fights Indy in Temple Of Doom,where they're on a conveyer belt and he gets dragged into that crushing machine yoke.Think he might be in Last Crusade too.

    Major roles in Veep and Luck (a show that's stuffed with guys like that) on HBO, also in a ton of other stuff including True Detective, Godzilla, I <3 Huckabees, Prison Break, Transformers, Dave, Unstoppable...

    ..and this guy (who is perhaps at this stage at the point that everyone knows his name?)
    Kevin+Corrigan+Vanity+Fair+Richard+Mille+Celebration+spdWPyU-5zTl.jpg
    A regular on a network sitcom for several years (Grounded For Life, guest appearances on a few others), regular presence in 90s indie hits (Slums of Beverly Hills, Trees Lounge, Henry Fool), and 00s films (Big Fan, Lonesome Jim), in low budget mumblecore movies (Harmony & Me), higher budget mumblecore movies (Results), scattered through a few Scorsese films (Goodfellas, the Departed), stoner comedies (Pineapple Express), an upcoming Terrence Malick film and a whole host of other things

    Judy Greer.

    She's in everything. For example she is currently in recent releases Jurassic World and Entourage and will be in Ant-Man that is out later this month.

    It also appears to be in her contract that she has to appear in every American sitcom ever made.
