honey I’m home they may not always be
the star but the movies wouldn’t be the
same without them welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 supporting
actors at last for this list we’ve
chosen male actors based on the quality
and impact of their supporting
performances regardless of their track
record as leading men hold on to your
bucks
number 10 Paul Giamatti yeah absolutely
you know we’ll see how it goes
although he’s found success later in his
career as a lead this actor made his
name with unique standout roles in big
prestige pictures that’s precisely my
point
often portraying a foil to the main
character Paul Giamatti has appeared in
such Oscar contenders as Saving Private
Ryan Cinderella Man The Illusionist
and 12 years of slave known to prefer
smaller roles as I think I know he has
solidified himself as one of the best
character actors of his era and oh
there’s just like the faintest Susa of
like asparagus and there’s a just a
flutter of flaking like a nutty Edam
cheese
eyes on me number 9 samuel l.jackson
table out one of the most prolific
actors of any period this boisterous
performers supporting track record goes
back to countless bit parts all of which
he made memorable that’s the double
truth roof but it wasn’t till his role
as Jules in 1994 as pulp fiction and one
particularly chilling Bible verse oh I’m
sorry did I break your concentration
that he was established as one of
Hollywood’s premier acting talents and I
will strike down upon thee with great
vengeance and furious anger those who
attempt to poison and destroy my brother
he has since settled in nicely to the
role of Nick Fury in the Avengers films
a role he was clearly born to play
despite having to tone back the f-bombs
to reach the family audience that’s
Venice
number eight Tommy Lee Jones okay we’re
gonna start right there
he may sometimes seem like he’s only
half awake but don’t let him fool you
linear share agent Platinum and Lendl
yes Tommy Lee Jones is one of the
sharpest actors working average foot
speed over uneven ground barring
injuries 4 miles an hour that gives us a
radius of 6 miles he is so well
respected that he’s often given license
to write his own lines on set
not a minute today just Jake and Robert
it untag much somebody good for you you
for ice cream gonna throw that a
photographer frequently cast as an
establishment goon or an authority
figure I don’t care
he has appeared in films like the
fugitive Natural Born Killers No Country
for Old Men and the men in black
franchise goodbye guys regardless of the
role he always manages to convey
complexity wit and heart see you around
Jeff
no you won’t this guy is methodical
exacting and worst of all patient number
seven Morgan Freeman we sat and drank
with the Sun on our shoulders and felt
like for you men well we could have been
tearing the roof of one of our own
houses
we were the laws of all creation
shooting to success in the late 80s with
his breakthrough role in Driving Miss
Daisy – oh dude thank you Miss Daisy
it’s not a Christmas present
Oh No – is having any business giving
Christmas presents this golden voiced
veteran has been the Hollywood go-to for
roles of mentors father figures the man
with a conscience and even God I’m the
one creator of the heavens and the earth
Alpha and Omega Freeman has been a
mainstay in some of the most critically
acclaimed films of the last few decades
and to just name a few this includes the
Shawshank Redemption seven Million
Dollar Baby
and even the Dark Knight trilogy huh
number six Christoph Waltz of England
virtually unheard of in the u.s. before
the 21st century that all changed with
Christoph Waltz masterful turn as the
misleadingly friendly but downright
deadly and insidious Nazi Colonel Hans
Landa in 2009’s
inglorious basterds the Fuehrer couldn’t
have said it better himself the austrian
german actor followed his oscar-winning
performance up with a string of critical
and box office successes i couldn’t
resist showing how versatile he can be
as both the villain and the complex hero
if the shoe fits him I swear it he’s
accumulated two Oscars in a short period
and is on his way to becoming one of the
most memorable actors of his time if the
runo’s were gonna happen thanks to his
delivery and on-screen presence
you guys are dead in the water
number five Steve Buscemi you wanna fuck
with me I’ll show you get away from
characters that can barely say a word to
those that don’t shut up you’re the
eternal Persia oh no one can put their
mark on a film quite like this actor
that’s a that’s a fountain a
conversation man not many performances
can change speeds between a Tarantino
bloodbath and an Adam Sandler slapstick
you don’t even care about this band do
you you run around the apartment I’ll
join you but geez that’s not true this –
I always got ten foot pants on as
somebody comes over
but Buscemi seems comfortable in
seemingly any role from Reservoir Dogs
to Fargo to The Big Lebowski
he played part in some of the most
enduring movies of the 90s and these
propelled him to more starting roles
later in his career
number four Jonah Hill this is the kind
of decision that gets you fired the
youngest entry on our list this comic
actor has already earned two Academy
Award nominations for his supporting
roles yeah I’m gonna get one a show a
show I’m getting at a show while he
usually plays comedic parts his
stripped-down role as Oakland Athletics
assistant general manager Peter brand in
2011 Moneyball showed his true range
it’s my first job anywhere Wow Congrats
thank you since then memorable turns in
hits like Django Unchained this is the
end and the wolf of Wall Street have

multi-faceted actor doesn’t appear to be
slowing down anytime soon hey Paulie
what’s up no yeah no everything’s fine
hey listen I quit what are you looking
at number three Joe Pesci come on don’t
be like that really don’t be like of all
the actors on our list perhaps no one
can take over a scene like this
brilliant hothead this is funny half his
performances in Raging Bull and
Goodfellas were so comically brilliant
shut up that he’s had an entire second
career in comedies like the home alone
movies and dead kid
while still playing the occasional
wiseguy in films like casino a guy I can
trip though Ralph come banana-peel
they’d bring me in for his hit me no
monologue in Goodfellas still stands out
as one of the most intensely brilliant
in any film I make you laugh I’m here to
fuckin amuse you what do you mean funny
funny how how am i funny my fing wife
has an ass inner cock in the driveway
Kurt alright number two William H Macy
Oh swell similar to Tommy Lee Jones this
character actor has made a career out of
exploring the complexities of seemingly
straight and narrow characters I’m quiz
kid Donnie Smith from TV with his
wholesome looks and perfectly groomed
moustache William H Macy’s disarming
presence is matched only by his desire
to find a character’s darkest edges are
you giving me shit Kurt after smaller
film roles in the early 90s Macy shot to
success as a desperate car salesman who
conspires to have his wife kidnapped in
1996’s Fargo now we had a deal here a
deal’s a deal the performance which
earned him an Oscar nomination was
followed up by standout roles in Boogie
Nights Pleasantville and Magnolia making
Maisie a perennial contributor to some
of the best films of his time I used to
be smart grab-grab
mega crap before we reveal our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions he
doesn’t want to be famous and I’ll make
him infamous right whenever he says
anything you say right Brett you know
that right no mommy used to tease me
she’d say you don’t belong to me we left
on the doorstep by gypsies
sometimes I think it’s true
what a communal there’s
he died as so many young men of his
generation before his time
then there was them Lord you took him as
you took so many bright flowering young
men at Khe Sanh the Languedoc at Hill
364 I won’t lie to you new every single
man or woman who has stood their ground
everyone who was fought an agent has
died but where they have failed you will
succeed
hey brother my number one Philip Seymour
Hoffman right here I’m shut like Maisie
Philip Seymour Hoffman rose to
prominence by putting his stamp on Paul
Thomas Anderson films such as bogey
Knights and Magnolia in triumph in
addition to continuing his relationship
with Anderson by appearing in nearly all
of the directors films Hoffman
contributed to an astounding amount of
important films as a supporting player
I’ve heard enough of this conversation
even after he started to take on more
lead roles you can’t do that it’s wrong
but some of our favorite Hoffman
performances are in The Big Lebowski mr.
Lebowski is prepared to make a generous
offer to you almost Davis good-looking
people I got no spine punch-drunk love
and money ball so it’s on me now truly
one of the all-time greats Hoffman was
