No Jesus Quintana of Big Lebowski fame yet?

He set the screen on fire. Then he was gone.

Shame he turned up again in that v strange remake of Les Valseuses.

Yes, he was brilliant in Big Lebowski.

Q in Star Trek TNG/Voyager is another bit part that stands out.

Jesus steals the show but it's also true that The Coen brothers put effort into bit parts like no other film makers. They practically always realise the small parts with great care. Big Dan T, anyone?

Brian Glover:

Mr Sugden in Kes
Cyril Heslop in Porridge
Mr Rottweiler in Bottom

[ShredderXLE]

He's very good as Andrews in Alien 3 too

Talking of Brian reminded me of this scene...

Nobody fks with the Jesus.

Great entrance, Gypsy Kings, the shoe, the hand. Brilliant scene.

Bono was an absolute legend in I'm Alan Partridge.

Alice Morgan in various of the Luther series, played by Ruth Wilson.
She was so deliciously twisted, you were never sure of her motives or whether she was a help or a threat. I remember getting very excited when she turned up in a Jenson Interceptor in a later series

Ernest Borgnine In RED - 93 years old but still 100% Ernest Borgnine. Would have been in RED2, had he not died.

Bob Newhart as Professor Proton in The Big Bang Theory - An ok show but his few appearances were utterly brilliant. Won him an Emmy too.

[hepy]

Cillian Murphy in the 2nd and 3rd Christopher Nolan films.

Richard Griffiths - Uncle Monty in Withnail and I. So many great lines 'As a youth I used to weep in buthchers shops'

DS Chisolm a great shout from the OP though.

Speaking of Brad Pitt, his appearance in True Romance.

James Gandolfini in True Romance, although the true scene stealers andbi guess they are 'bit' parts are Walken and Hopper.

True Romance, a really underrated film! One of the best scenes ever Walken and Hopper!

How about Gary Oldman as the pimp Drexl Spivey

Actually Gary Oldman in many films.

I watched 'Uncharted' the other day.

Nolan North who does the voice of Nathan Drake (Tom Holland's lead character) makes a great, albeit breif cameo. The guy on the sunlounger:

not sure if mentioned yet

Robert Patrick (as the T1000) in Waynes World

Absolutely love the cameo in Nick Frost's film "Cuban Fury"when he has the dance-off in the office car park with Chris O'Dowd. I bet plenty of people miss it..

Denham Reynham in IT Crowd for me!
Douglas Reynham too but he's more of a Supporting actor rather than 'bit part'.

The IT Crowd episodes 1 and 2 were on E4 Extra on Sunday night. 1 with Jen's interview and 2 with the fire. "Nice screensaver!"
