All hail the creepy character actor—he (or she) who can show up in even the most innocuous movie and turn it into an exercise in unease. It's a tradition whose forefathers, including Peter Lorre and Bela Lugosi, have become film icons, standing alongside—or maybe just behind and a little too close to—cinema greats such as Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe.
