For classic films, S.Z. Sakall comes to mind.

 

For British films and TV, Alan Williams is one of the greats.

 

 


My son found a copy of S.Z. Sakall's autobiography for me a few years ago.

That sounds interesting. There was a small amount of biographical information about him in the extras on  the  "Casablanca" dvd. I know that he left Hungary to escape the Nazis, and that he lost many family members in the concentration camps.

He was so evil in HBO series "Oz."

 

 


@Highlands72

 

I like to think of him in Whiplash, then think of him in the Farmers Insurance commercials.  I have a bit of a crush maybe.


@just bee I agree. He was so, so bad in Oz. I also only try to think of him in Whiplash, Farmers and my favorite, The Closer. He was great in that role.

Forgot one of my favorite old time actors...

 

Edward G. Robinson...


@kelsey17 I loved EGR. One of my favorites, a comedy that pulled the strings of my heart was, A Hole In The Head. He was great in every genre. whether it be dramatic or comedy (rare for him).

@just bee Yes. He still spooks me out from that role. Since he was in The Good wife, I like him again.
