March 10, 2025 Top 5 Character Actors.
This Week on the Force Five Podcast:
🎙️ Character actors are performers who specialize in playing distinctive supporting roles (most of the time) rather than leading ones. They excel at transforming into a wide range of characters, sometimes disappearing so fully into their roles that audiences may recognize their face but not their name. On this episode of the Force Five Podcast, host Jason Kleeberg and Carlo from The Movie Loot Podcast celebrate those actors.
Which actors made the cut? Who should have made the list? Let me know at [email protected].
