10 Supporting Film Characters That Completely Stole The Spotlight

4. Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) - No Country For Old Men

Shiver-inducing in his execution, relentless in his tracking, and remorseless in his actions, Chigurh is one of the great movie psychopaths that stays in your head well beyond the film is over. He seems almost supernatural in the way he stalks the desolate and violent ravaged landscapes of the Coen brothers' thriller.

While Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones are also fantastic, it is Bardem's character that shocks you, combining lopsided grins with a freakish hair cut as he kills mercilessly. Telling his story almost entirely with facial expressions, Chigurh is haunting and bewitching as so many of the Coen's darker characters have been, and totally steals the film, proving hellishly memorable for hours, even days after the film's conclusion.
