My Take

Dominique Pinon is the character actor I think of whenever people underrate supporting roles. That unmistakable, slightly off-kilter face in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's films, Delicatessen, Amelie, makes him impossible to forget even when he isn't the lead. He's not a star-vehicle guy, he's a presence, and the Molière Award for Best Actor plus the Officer of Arts and Letters prove the theatre world takes him seriously too. To me he's the salt in a dish: easy to overlook, but the scene tastes flat without him. French cinema is richer for actors built exactly like this.
