10 More Best Movie Characters Who Only Appear In ONE Scene

10. Sapper Morton - Blade Runner 2049

As much as we all love Dave Bautista's performance as Drax in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his short-but-sweet turn in the opening moments of Blade Runner 2049 was the first major indication of his transfixing dramatic chops.

Bautista appears in a single five-minute scene as Sapper Morton, a Nexus-8 replicant who is now living a low-key life as a protein farmer and has been targeted for "retirement" by replicant Blade Runner K (Ryan Gosling).

The brilliantly suspenseful sequence sees K arrive on Morton's farm with the intent of bringing him in, one way or another.

Knowing his number is up, a visibly unsettled Morton eventually initiates a fight with K, using his sheer brute strength to overpower him, until K is able to mount a comeback and shoot him dead.

Though a short film, "Nowhere to Run," was released to flesh out Morton's character, even in his few minutes of screen time in the movie proper, he perfectly conveys the fear felt by older replicant models being hunted down.

Moreover, he's far more than the blunt object you might expect - a thoughtful, melancholic character clearly wearing a massive weight on his giant back from a brutal past.
