Best acting in an unknown/bit part?
Sometimes a key scene or bit part anchors a film in a way that requires someone to knock the performance out of the park, even if it’s only a couple lines or a small exchange. So I was curious what your favorite examples of this are, with the hope that the focus is placed on lesser known actors as opposed to “This Oscar winner came in for a few lines and crushed it.”
The example that personally made me think of this was seeing a video talk about X-Men 3. The movie is…something, but I always come back to just how incredible the scene with young Angel in the bathroom trying to file off his wings is. The kid only has a couple of minutes on screen, but every bit of his performance absolutely captivated me with just how tragically he plays it.
So what’s your bit part that stands out?
