After a short hiatus, Azed & Tom return for this very special epsiode dedicated to the often overlooked character actor. Although a somewhat vague label the character actor is usually understood to be a film or television performer who specializes in portraying unique, offbeat, colorful characters in supporting roles.  While leading actors receive most, if not all, of the accolades for a film or series' success, it is often the character actors who steal the show and add texture and depth to otherwise pretty standard material. 

In this episode, we list off some of our favourite character actors and some key performances that have become iconic.  A few of the actors we discuss here; Jennifer Coolidge, Harry Dean Stanton, Madeline Khan, Andre Braugher, Jason Robards, Terri Garr and more.
