Hey it's those people

[dorinda]

From this year's Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue (♥), a photo they call "Hollywood's Best Character Actors". (Hover over each face for their caption.)

Granted, it's a small group and that's not everyone I would pick, but some of my very favorites are indeed in there. Margo Martindale! Clancy Brown! John Hawkes! I can barely even recognize Gary Cole. And J.K Simmons in that jacket is making me call for my smelling salts. Oh, my.

Thanks for the link. The hover-captions are awesome!

Wow, Clancy Brown is only 53? It feels like he's been around forever. And John Hawkes is 52? How is that even possible? And J.K. Simmons is only 57? He must've been one of those old-looking young men, like Patrick Stewart.

I love that two of those actors are probably best known for Office Space. Hee.

So true, on all counts. I suspect that Clancy Brown, like J.K. Simmons, started to look middle-aged while he was young, and then stayed looking much the same for a long time. John Hawkes, I don't know--portrait in the attic? :D
