26 supporting actors who outplayed everyone and became the main decoration of the film (27 photos)

Often the best actors appear in a film for just a few minutes - just remember Judi Dench, who won an Oscar for 8 minutes in Shakespeare in Love. Reddit users decided to remember the most striking cases when actors in supporting roles really gave it their all and outshone everyone else in the film.





1. Ana de Armas as Paloma, No Time to Die



"She was absolutely beautiful and cool. The best thing about this movie."

2. Alfred Molina as Rahad Jackson, Boogie Nights





"Molina had a plug in one ear and an earpiece in the other, so he could only hear the dialogue while filming the scene. That's why he was able to remain calm while fireworks were exploding around him."

3. Lil Rel Howery - Rod Williams, "Get Out"



“I remember how the whole audience groaned and whispered “NO!” when at the end of “Get Out” a car with a flashing light drove up. When the main character’s friend got out of it, the whole audience rejoiced.”

4. Jonah Hill as a buyer, The 40-Year-Old Virgin



5. Siobhan Fallon Hogan as Beatrice, Men in Black



"I still quote her lines from that film. She gave it her all in that small role."

6. Mathieu Kassovitz as a robber, The Fifth Element



"You can see Bruce Willis trying very hard not to laugh. 'Cool hat', 'DO YOU LIKE IT??!'

7. Chris Tucker as Ruby Rod, The Fifth Element



"Obviously this film was about him."

8. Katie Lamkin as Desert Aire Manager, No Country for Old Men



"She wasn't going to put up with that attitude, and even Anton respected that. The Coens are great at creating memorable supporting roles."

9. Tom Cruise as Les Grossman, Tropic Thunder



“This character becomes 10 times funnier when you realize it's Tom Cruise in makeup; except for the part where he dances at the end, and that scene is literally funny just because it's Tom Cruise."

10. Evan Peters as Quicksilver, X-Men: Days of Future Past



"The kitchen scene was incredibly good at using his speed creatively without relying on 'superhero strength' at all. He's poking someone in the cheek, he's changing the direction of a bullet, but no big punches or heavy lifting. He's just doing it." , which anyone could do if they had time, with all the confidence of a person who ALWAYS has time for it.”

11. Harish Patel as Karun Patel, The Eternals



"He was absolutely the best thing in this movie! Wonderful!"

12. Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker, Scream



“Honestly, I forgot everything else from this movie, but I will never forget the opening with Drew Barrymore.”

13. Harold Perrineau as Mercutio, Romeo + Juliet



“He stole the show, without a doubt. My favorite character. Without exception. He revived Mercutio."

14. Sam Rockwell as Guy Fligman, Galaxy Quest



"God, I love Rockwell. He also stole the show in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, even though it wasn't exactly a cameo. In about a minute, he turned my least favorite character into my new favorite character."

15. Peter Stormare as Lucifer, Constantine: Lord of Darkness



"The white suit, the tar/acid dripping from his legs, his paleness, damn this scene is incredibly good."

16. Jennifer Coolidge as Paulette, Legally Blonde



17. John Turturro as Jesus Quintana, The Big Lebowski



"Jesus in The Big Lebowski stole the show so much that he (unwisely) got his own movie."

18. Billy Crystal and Carol Kane as Max the Miracle Worker and Valerie, The Princess Bride



"Carol Kane outplayed Billy Crystal, who outplayed EVERYONE ELSE."

19. Bill Murray as himself, Zombieland



“I saw this movie without even knowing he was in it, and it blew my mind... I don’t know if that could happen with all the transparency in filmmaking now.”

20. J.K. Simmons as CIA Chief, Burn After Reading



“Honestly, this is my favorite role of his.”

21. Bronson Pinchot as Serge, Beverly Hills Cop



22. Christopher Walken as Captain Koons, Pulp Fiction



23. Alden Ehrenreich as Hobie Doyle, Hail Caesar!



"Alden Ehrenreich had a relatively small role in Hail, Caesar!, but he outshone some very famous actors, including: Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Channing Tatum." .

24. Brad Pitt as Floyd, True Romance



“It seems to me that no one has ever played a “junkie” better.”

25. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Freddie Miles, The Talented Mr. Ripley



"He may be in this movie too much for this list, but he stole the show in every scene, and in a movie that featured a lot of good young actors."

26. Paul Brook as Rancor Guardian in Return of the Jedi



"It was the first time I really thought about the idea that even the bad guys feel something."
