My Take
Michael J. Pollard is my idea of a great character actor, the kind whose face does the work no leading man could. That bulbous nose, dimpled chin and sly smirk turned offbeat, simple-but-lovable roles into something unforgettable, and his C.W. Moss in Bonnie and Clyde still steals scenes decades later. He built a genuine cult following without ever fronting a picture, which is its own quiet achievement. I always gravitate toward performers like him over conventional pretty boys, because a face you remember instantly is rarer than good looks. He passed in 2019, but that strange, warm screen presence endures.
