Title: Invaluable Roll Call of Character Actors
Review: If you want a quick reference guide for character actors, this is a great place to go. With so much emphasis on humor, I wish the authors, who operate the website Fametracker.com, had slipped in some more background details, but at least you get a picture and a few movies the actors appeared in.The forward is in the form of an interview with Stephen Tobolowsky, who played the salesman Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day. He talks about how the he was forced by the nature of his short appearance to figure out where his character is coming from.The character actors are all of recent vintage. Fans of older movies will need to consult a different source. But those included are excellent.The actors are grouped according to the type of movie they most often appear in, such as military movies, cop shows, office settings, mob movies, and so on.A great addition to any movie reference library. Like I don't have nearly enough crap.
