    One of my favorite bits on STUDIO 60 is where Matt is mad at Harriet for wanting to go off and do a movie, so he threatens to hold her to her contract and then write scenes where she has no lines. "I will make you the highest paid extra on TV!" THAT is what a writer punishing an actor looks like

    Reversing this, who are the actors who AREN'T the leads, but whose mere presence can make you want to watch a film just because they have even a minor part in it? Who are the Harriet Walters, the Ian Holms, the Mark Bonnars, the Kate Dickies, whose inclusion makes it worth trying?
