One of the great ‘That Guy’ actors, Shane Rimmer has been a staple supporting actor for more than 50 years. Recently, you might remember him as that guy in control of the waterworks during the climactic battle in Batman Begins. But go back through the years and you’ll find him popping up in such gems as Space Truckers (“Square pigs!!!”), Out of Africa, Superman II & III, Doctor Strangelove, even Star Wars and three Bond films (as three different guys). Originally from Canada, he’s spent much of his career in England, frequently playing the American. He’s got a darned jovial face, and always adds a little something extra to a film. The perfect quality of a ‘That Guy.’

3. Space Truckers
