Favourite Supporting Actors.

[Silent Scream Queen]

We all know certain names that are linked to horror films. Like Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, or Barbara Steele. But there are also other, often overlooked, actors who appear regularly in supporting roles and add an extra dimension to the films they appear in.
Can you name your favourites of these actors, that may not be big names, but suit their parts well, and also tell us the film's you think they were integral to.

Here is one that you might not necessarily notice, but if you are a Hammer film fan, will spot quite often in supporting roles. His name is perfect for horror.

Michael Ripper.




What movies do you remember him in?

What an awesome name for horror, lol. Pretty sure he was in Taste the Blood of Dracula, probably some other Hammer Dracula movies. He looks familiar.

Speaking of Hammer films, another guy that I liked a lot as a supporting actor was Michael Gough who did some Hammer, and to be fair some Amicus stuff, but I thought he was great in the supporting roles he had.
He was even Alfred in the 1989 movie Batman.

I liked him in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors as the painter.
I thought  the Christopher Lee character was well done too.

That's probably my favorite movie with him in it. I love an anthology to begin with, and that one is just great fun. He's great in the story with Lee.

Here is an actor who was a bit more than a mere supporting character in some of his films, but is often forgotten now.  He turned up in several of the great Universal Studios Horror films. Before I name him and the films he appeared in, do you recognise him? And what have you seen him in, and what characters did he play?
