Best Bit Roles

Matt and I were just talking about this, and agreed this would be a good question to pose to other movie fans out there. We were discussing what were some of the best characters or roles people have had in movies where they were only onscreen for maybe 10 minutes or so. I was thinking that Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross is the king of this, but some other good candidates are as follows:

Brad Pitt in True Romance
Alan Alda in Crimes and Misdemeanors
Dave Sheridan in Ghost World
Parker Posey in Dazed and Confused

Anyway, that's all I can think of right now. Feel free to add any if you think of some :smile
