Another of those once-in-a-lifetime supporting actors from the Thirties and Forties and probably the most easily remembered of them all was S Z Sakall, real name Eugene Gero.
He was marvellous as the delicatessen store-owner hilariously talking to a bed-post in the Danny Kaye film Wonder Man.
For the record, these support actors each appeared in between 100 and 200 films.
