It would seem that the voting in the earlier polls has tapered off, so this is one last shot at counting the actors mentioned in the “data-gathering” threads who have yet to get the first vote in the polls.
Try to limit your votes to five, unless you just can’t resist giving a favorite one last chance.
Poll on the way…
This poll suffers from a failure to communicate.

So sorry. There are 5 other polls on the topic where the background was explained. This one is obviously an error. Allowing multiple choice and not having the responses identified by poster was just wrong.
But it’s beating a dead horse anyway.
What I meant was you cannot have a character actor poll that fails to include Strother Martin, who played the warden in Cool Hand Luke.

He was in one of the earlier polls.

For all the background on these “Favorite Character Actor” polls look at Favorite Character Actor threads – discussion please and add opinions and reactions as needed.
Thanks to all who have participated so far.
I saw the “pre-poll data collecting” thread, and I see this one, but I saw none of the ones in between.
You say “character actor” and only one person comes to my mind: Foster Brooks. He’s not in this poll; which of the previous ones was he in?

This is the first mention of him.
Thank you. I would have phrased it differently, but, you see, I can be one real mean son of a bitch. I’ll let you be a good guy.
What, exactly, is the point of these polls? Avenge me!

Here’s the best I can do as an explanation: OP to first of the threads. Things have progressed from there.
I hadn’t noticed Zasu* Pitts was on the earlier polls. She’s definitely my number one.
*pronounced “Zay-soo”

I don’t know what the point of the polls is/are. But you really can’t mention great character actors without a mention of Strother Martin. (Or Walter Brennan I suppose.) Strother stole every scene he was ever in. Talented actors feared working with him.
I thought it read “Dr. Walter Brennan” and thought first, “Yes! He’s right!” And then Thomas Mitchell.
And then they came for Thomas Gomez.
And then the Dope came for the rest.
And all the time you was here, cutting the heads off of gumball machines, Mr. War Hero.
Avenge me. The life of a repo man is always intense.
