that you could sit down with grandchildren and say "That was me", what role would you pick.
No major role. Minor character.
Sometimes I see commercials or obscure characters and I think it would be cool if I had done that.
Examples......the lady beating the cat in 'Holy Grail'
Bellhop in 'High Anxiety' psycho scene
the redneck that gave them a lift in 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"
Or maybe the snickers toupee guy.

One of the dead frozen floaters in "Titanic." Maybe the guy who had the whistle around his neck that the female lead used to get the attention of the life boat guys searching for survivors.:D
WTF, I think I'll just claim I'm that guy anyway, Who'll know?

The Woody Allen character in "Bananas" who tries to buy a XXX porn magazine and disguise it by mixing in a bunch of mainstream magazines. When the store owner is checking him out, he needs a price check on the porno mag and shouts to his employee in the back "Hey Harry, how much is "Lusting Women???" "What?" "How much is "Lusting Women? This guy here wants to buy a copy!!!" Meanwhile everyone in the store is looking at Woody.

...or maybe that guy who was doing Bill Macy's wife in "Boogie Nights" out on the driveway, although I don't think I'd want to brag about it to the grandkiddies. :D
I'd like to have been the Johnny character from the airplane films. You know, the guy who unplugs the runway lights...then said, "Just kidding."

In the overall scheme of things...Speirs was a minor character.
Temporary commander of Easy, sure he supposedly killed those Germans in cold blood and led them into Foy but he was still a minor character.

Silent Bob.
his name is in the title of the movie. Kinda voids the 'minor character' stipulation.

Either one of the guys that Forrest Whitaker tees off on in Fast Times at Ridgemont High or the guy that passes out in the background of Dazed And Confused. (He passes out up against a car in the background during the George Washington / Money conversation at the party at the Moon Tower.) He was the best extra ever.

The roulette dealer/croupier in "Casablanca." After Louis (Claude Rains) closes Rick's after discovering that there is gambling this establishment (Shocked. Shocked!!), the dealer/croupier approaches Louis with a handful of cash, offers it to him and says, "Your winnings, Sir."
