Subject: RE: Best 'Character' Actors and Actresses
Donald O'Connor. Wonderful dancer and all-around performer who was put into those awful talking mule pictures because he didn't fit hollywood's image of a lead actor. He did get to show his talents in Singing In The Rain. At least the equal of Gene Kelly as a dancer, IMO.

Cloris Leachman, Snitz Edwards (getting obscure with ol' Snitz here - he was a stock actor in Buster Keaton films. Played butler/school principal type roles to perfection), and the aforementioned (DougR) Raymond Massey.
