My Take
Larry Hankin is the kind of actor whose name you forget but whose face you never do. From the cranky Mr. Heckles on Friends to Joe in Breaking Bad, he has spent decades stealing scenes with a single weary glance. I have always admired character actors more than leading men, and Hankin is a textbook case of why: he brings instant texture and credibility to anything he touches. A New Yorker born in 1937, Syracuse-educated, he is a craftsman who never needed top billing to be unforgettable. That quiet, lived-in authenticity is exactly what great supporting work is made of.
