A documentary about the importance of character actors... people we all recognize but might not be able to name. You know the ones... the "that guy!!!!" The lesser-known stars who take a backseat to the leads but know the art of stealing a scene. Sprinkled with clips from their work, the stars share their thoughts about what it means to be a character actor, the pride they take in their work, typecasting, and other little tidbits of interesting stuff.
