So forget about getting anything done today. I just found a repository of interviews with character actors from the Onion’s A/V Club! These are the kind of people you see in just about everything but don’t necessarily know their names. Hey, it’s that guy/girl from that movie! Of course, some of them started out being very famous and have since gone on to play character roles. And some of them have done so many parts that they get name recognition decades into their careers. And many of them are still “that guy” or “that woman” from “that movie” or “that show.”

So, you can wade in to the whole list here, or go with some of my personal favorites like Danny Trejo, Illeana Douglas, Luis Guzman, Kevin Corrigan, and Olivia Williams.

As of this posting there are 87 interviews, all of them lengthy, in depth and insider-y. If you enjoy film like I do, get set to spend a good chunk of your time with these interviews.
