Found an interesting page that’s simply a composite of character actor head shots and names, so when you’re trying to remember someone you can scan the photos and find out. There are some that are obvious to even part time film buffs, like Giovanni Ribisi, Charles Napier, and James Cromwell, but also a number I could only recognize by face. Sooner or later someone is going to turn this into a photo quiz.
One thought on “Character Actor Composite”

I’m curious as to whether the actors portrayed here would be happy or unhappy to be thus showcased. The more famous actors (James Cromwell, Giovanni Ribisi) may not want to be listed, although they do fit the criteria. And the lesser known actors have now achieved web-immortality.
Seems like a who’s who from “The Twilight Zone” and a dozen other 50’s TV series.
I agree that such icons as The Skipper (Gilligan’s Island) and Fred Mertz (I love Lucy) should not be on the list. But what a great feeling it is to find them in a mainstream film, unexpectedly !!! See “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “Miracle on 34th Street” for great Fred Mertz appearances (and I still don’t know the actors name !! Perhaps they should be listed in a separate page on web site)
And what happened to all the women?? Serious omission.
