Tracey Walter

Walter is the kind of actor whose name you may not know but whose face you absolutely do. He is a quintessential 'that guy' character actor, the guy directors call when they need a scene quietly stolen. His Miller in Repo Man delivering the plate-of-shrimp cosmic-unconsciousness monologue is one of the great weirdo moments in 1980s cult cinema, and his Bob the Goon in Tim Burton's Batman is small but indelible. I love performers like him who build entire careers out of texture and oddity rather than star power. Decades deep, he is a reminder that supporting players are the connective tissue of film.
