Here are a few Great Actors that you may have seen in alot of movies, but don't know their name:

-----------------------

David Keith

My favourite role of his was as "Jack Parkman" in Major League II. He played such an ass. It was the perfect role for the type of characters he usually plays :thumbsup3

-----------------------

Jason Statham

This is a great British actor. The next Action star! He did a bang up job as "The Transporter" and also had great roles in "Snatch", "The Italian Job" and "Cellular"

-----------------------

J.T. Walsh

Sadly, JT Walsh passed away in 1999, but he was IMO the greatest actor to ever play a villain/bad guy. I loved him in "Breakdown" as the truck driver

-----------------------

Bruce Greenwood

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/paramount_pictures/rules_of_engagement/bruce_greenwood/rules.jpg

This Canadian actor got his start as an orderly on the TV series St. Elsewhere and since then has appeared in lots of movies, including many great villainous roles. Last seen in the movies "I, Robot" and "Racing Stripes"

-----------------------

Joe Morton

Most often, he plays an agent/cop.. someform of governmental figure and does a great job at it. I liked him best as the NASA rep in the excellent film "The Astronauts Wife"

-----------------------

Jonathan Banks

You've probably seen this guy as the villain, and what a great job he does. I liked him best as Maitland's Right hand Man in the film "Beverly Hills Cop"

-----------------------

James Remar

His role as cold blooded killer Ganz in the film "48 Hrs.", just be my favourite villainous performance in the history of film.

I like David Keith. If you have ever seen "The Lords of Discipline", you will see him at his best. He shows up in so many movies! Next time you see him in a movie, notice if there is not a reference to the U. of Tennessee by him or to him. He graduated from there and I have noticed it often in his movies.

I am a hugh David Keith Fan. I love him in a Officer and a Gentleman with Richard Gere and I thought he did a good job in Daredevil even if it was a small part!!! BTW: Jonathan Banks has also done Television - he was on the show Wise Guys!!!

I liked James Remar as Samantha's boyfriend in "Sex and the City". As for Robert Davi, another good choice! I always thought he was pretty sexy since I saw him in that one James Bond movie, "License To Kill".

A few quick additions to this thread:

Al Leong. You've probably seen him in loads of films as an always silent sidekick/fighter, i.e. Big Trouble in Little China, Die Hard and so on.
