10 Iconic Film Performances With Hardly Any Screen Time
8. John Turturro The Big Lebowski
Trying to stake your claim in a film alongside a stellar cast of Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi and John Goodman is no easy feat but John Turturro as The Big Lebowskis purple jumpsuit clad pederast Jesus Quintana manages to do it and in only few scenes, no less. His thick Cuban accent, quasi-sexual bowling ball licking and hilariously unthreatening threats (nobody f*cks with the Jesus!) made Turturros character one of the films most memorable despite his limited screen time. Though hed originally thought his part would be much bigger, the Cohen brothers allowed him free reign with Jesus resulting in that wonderful bowling victory dance apparently inspired by boxing legend Muhammed Ali. Theres been talk from Turturro the last few years about making a Jesus Quintana based spin-off but nothing has been confirmed as yet. Come on Cohen brothers, make it happen.
