I recently re-watched two movies.... and two small performances stuck with me this time around....  Slim Pickens in The Getaway... shows up in the final 10 minutes and pretty much steals the whole movie. L.Q. Jones in Casino... probably the best scene in the movie too. |

Donald Sutherland in JFK is pretty much the epitome of this.

Dean Stockwell in Blue Velvet is always my go to answer for this. Mili Avital in Dead Man would be my runner up.
Some other great, highly memorable ones:
Balthazar Getty, Twin Peaks: The Return
Hongming Lin, A Brighter Summer Day
Martin Scorsese, Taxi Driver

Alec Baldwin in Glengerry Glen Ross
The guy in my avatar in The Third Man
Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men
Beatrice Straight and Ned Beatty in Network
Peter Sellers in Lolita is probably brief enough screentime to count.

PSH in Hard Eight.........Rourke in The Pledge......Nina Arianda isn't in The Humbling much but she's a riot and the best female in the cast with Greta Gerwig, Diane Wiest, Kyra Sedgwick ..........

Mickey Rourke in The Pledge. Barely two minutes of screentime, but if he doesn't make you cry, you have no soul.
Edit: three of us had the same idea at the same time.

Also, who can forget Kenneth Lonergan's masterclass in Manchester by the Sea.

Michael Wincott in The Assassination of Richard Nixon comes to mind. A memorable scene-stealing cameo against Sean Penn in one of his finest performances.

I was just telling a friend the other day that Gene Hackman is usually so casually convincing and memorable in his very small roles - Another Woman, Postcards from the Edge, Reds.....
Albert Finney as Joseph Fouché in The Duellists. Well, it's too brief to be a great performance or anything but after watching the movie I reallllly wanted to see a whole movie with him as Fouché.
Eric Roberts, Inherent Vice. I keep re-watching his scene on youtube. "Go away little hippy."
Alfred Molina, Boogie Nights
And I'll echo the already mentioned Baldwin in GGR, bc it's probably the #1.

These guys, PSH in Hard Eight, April Grace in Magnolia (technically doesn't count, but you could argue she's part of one long scene broken up over time), Russell Harvard and Hans Howes in There Will Be Blood, Christopher Evan Welch, Madisen Beaty, Lena Endre and W. Earl Brown in The Master, practically everyone Doc runs across in Inherent Vice, Harriet Sansom Harris in Phantom Thread . . . |
