Is this the new SDMB fad now? Ok…
The bag lady on the corner while Wally Shawn’s riding in the cab.

Charleton Heston, The little Prince, all those guys in the native ceremonies.
The movie doesn’t have that big a cast. You seriously have to strech for 100 characters…

I thought Richard Nixo’s cameo as the bus boy had a certian panache. No lines but panache up the wazoo.

Well, then there’s the young actress just breaking into the biz who got hired as a background extra and just keeps walking through the background carrying water glasses over and over and over again until at some point you are forced subconsciously to stop listening to the brilliant dialogue in the foreground of the shot and you start actively looking for her to see if she is going to carry anything else at all in the entire film except those godforsaken water glasses and then before you know it the end credits roll and you realize you have to return the DVD by midnight or pay a heft fine and you get to go through life telling people that you did finally see the movie but you’re too shamefaced to admit to anyone except your therapist and that hot girl on the treadmill at the gym that you couldn’t take your eyes off the girl with the waterglasses.
I loved her performance.

This “Name 100 characters from…” fad has maxed out. It’s just so yesterday.
