the classic Western character actor poll

I left out Warren Oates cuz he would've won in a landslide but also cuz he actually had starring roles. This is ONLY for supporting cast guys with those faces that you instantly recognize and say "ohhhh THAT guy!", but that never broke out as leads/stars in their own right. I'm sure this list could be much longer.
