	Character actor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A character actor is an actor who predominantly performs in similar roles throughout the course of a career.
		Some character actors have distinctive voices or accents which in the opinion of casting directors limit their suitability for most leading roles; actors such as James Earl Jones, Selma Diamond and Julie Kavner have been able to turn this to their advantage, often in voice-over work.
		This notwithstanding, a hallmark of many great character actors is that their names are not widely known yet their faces or voices are instantly recognizable; Paul Henreid, Sydney Greenstreet, or Barry Fitzgerald are some examples.

	[No title]
		The second eldest of the three acting Barrymores (Lionel, Ethel and John), she was initially a leading actress of the stage but in later years became a renowned character actress.
		One of my all-time favorite actresses, she could be classified as a "one-hit wonder" like many stars so connected to a singular role, and to be sure, she performed little else.
		Diminutive in size but gigantic in her talent, this wonderfully dazzling character actress is a joy to watch.

	2002 Cosmo Award Categories
		As with the Lead Actress and Actor categories, voters should consider hard whether the candidate was truly in a leading or supporting role.
		If their character has a reputation for killing everyone they are intimate with, they might want to reconsider that moment of intimacy.
		As with above, this is the character (as portrayed) by the actress that you would most want to be intimate with, not the actress herself.

	Aahanty's Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Mila Kunis is a great actress, but in all of her funny TV Shows/series and movies (such as Family Guy, That 70's Show) she acts like the same personality.
		Amy Carlson is a great actress, but she can not stay with a series for a long time, that's one of the reasons why she is not my favourite actress anymore.
		Her character on Third Watch was one of my favourite characters out of all of them, but her acting career sucks (in my opinion).

	Soraya, Actress & Middle Eastern Belly Dancer
		Many times she is accompanied by an actor who portrays the Aladdin character to complete the Middle Eastern illusion at a party.
		Her exotic, dark Mediterranean appearance so closely resembles the animated character that everyone believes that SORAYA is actually the Mysterious and lovely "Esmeralda." Soraya does an artistic dance routine, sings, and sometime does a duet with her sidekick, "Quasimoto," the Hunchback, to the sheer delightment of children.
		Soraya performs this character all over New Jersey and Pennsylvania and recently appeared in a major casino concert, featuring all of the Disney characters, where she danced and sang to the amazed audience of over 2,000 children and their parents.

	From total unknown to TV character actress - Feb. 05, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Last Monday, over 500 young women applied to be chosen as one of 15 finalists competing to play a yaya character on a TV series.
		The 15 finalists were presumably all amateurs in the field of acting, so they were initially chosen mainly for type, character, temperament and appropriateness to the yaya role.
		Let's hope that, when "To the Max" finally chooses its winner this week, she will play her yaya role well, and it will lead to a good career for her as a character actress on television.

	Halfbakery: Best Character Actor Award
		I don't think there's any requirement for the Best Supporting Actor to be a "main" character in order to be eligible - notable, yes, but the most notable performance doesn't have to be the longest.
		And I'm not sure "character actor" is the right term anyway; you could easily class someone like Steve Buscemi as a "character actor" even in films like Ghostworld where his role is fairly central.
		A lot of times I find myself saying, "That movie blew...but you gotta see it for [insert character actor]...the supporting actor." A "good" actor and a "celebrity" actor are two different things and winning awards often validates fame and not necessarily a person's skills.
