Nice. I see a lot of actors being pushed in the general direction of moving beyond being mere character actors. I'd be curious to know who has spend the longest time working as a character actor.

Loved Fringe but more of a "The Wire" fan

Lance Riddick is one of the main cast in "The Wire", I was actually disappointed with the Fringe for not utilizing his character to the fullest but it made sense with the storyline.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. Astrix should've been used prominently in the latter seasons.

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."

Is this a joke?

No Brian Cox or Brendan Gleeson?

The article lists criteria including:

- If a performer has been nominated for an Oscar, that performer is ineligible.

- If a performer has won a lead or supporting-actor Emmy, that performer is ineligible.

- If a performer currently works primarily as a lead, that performer is ineligible.

Cox and Gleeson have both won Emmys.

odd, I don't see how that disqualifies them from being character actors
