What's the greatest one-scene performance by a minor character?
One of my favorite scenes in No Country for Old Men is the gas station coin toss. The old gas station owner isn't a main character, doesn't even have a name, and only appears in that one scene, yet his performance is so tense and believable that he completely holds his own against Javier Bardem. It made me wonder: what are some other examples of anonymous or very minor characters (almost extras) delivering incredibly memorable performances in just one scene? I'd love to discover more moments like that.
