Can't find a good clip.

Good picks! Some I know, some I don't.

Gene Hackman - Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle



Sigourney Weaver - Ellen Ripley



Steve Buscemi - Mr. Pink



Dennis Hopper - Frank Booth




George Costanza - Seinfeld



David Brent - The Office

Great picks! I pretty much love Buscemi in anything he's in. And even though George isn't even my favourite on the show, he's still up there. This trio was great in The Big Lebowski:

Shawn Spencer and Burton Gus - Psych



Riley Poole - National Treasure 1 and 2



Reginald Jeeves - Jeeves and Wooster



10th Doctor and Donna - Doctor Who



Mozzie -White Collar



Sam Axe - Burn Notice

Dr. House:

Tyler Durden-Fight Club

Can't find a good video without spoilers.

I have a LOT of these - as an actor, I almost obsess over superb characters (regardless of their gender) which I would have loved to play - and the performers who brought the role to life on the screen.

Margo Channing, played by Bette Davis in All About Eve


Baby Jane Hudson, played by Bette Davis in What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?


Buffalo Bill / Jame Gumb, played by Ted Levine in The Silence Of the Lambs


Rubin Farr, played by Crispin Glover in Rubin and Ed


Sister Aloysius, played by Meryl Streep in Doubt


Elwood P. Dowd, played by James Stewart in Harvey


Martha, played by Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?


Martha Dobie, played by Shirley MacLaine in The Children's Hour
Karen Wright, played by Audrey Hepburn in The Children's Hour


Willard Stiles, played by Crispin Glover in Willard


Amelie Poulain, played by Audrey Tautou in Amelie


Daniel Plainview, played by Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood

Good call on Daniel Day-Lewis. I thought Paul Dano was great in that too.


Hans Landa - Inglourious Basterds

I've always thought Daniel Day-Lewis was his best in Gangs of New York

Daniel Day-Lewis - Bill the Butcher



Here's a few more for good measure.

Kathy Bates - Annie Wilkes



Edward Norton - Derek Vinyard



Kurt Russell - Snake Plissken

Best character on British T.V for years:
