We sometimes get the delightful treat of watching a movie to notice a supporting character grab our attention and fascinate us with a riveting performance.My favorite is Val Kilmer who portrayed Doc Holiday in the western classic"Tombstone"(1993).I did enjoy Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp.However,Val Kilmer successfully put his own magnetic spin on the character of Doc Holiday as a pompously endearing gentleman with some of the most memorable lines in western movie history,such as:I'm your huckleberry!/My hypocrisy goes only so far./Say when!(quote to instigate a gunfight)/You sweet soft Hungarian devil(Doc's girlfriend Kate)/An enchanted moment./Wyatt,I will not be pawed at!(his drunken comment to Earp when being urged not to overindulge the night life due to tuberculoses)/Look darlin it's Johnny Ringo,the fastest gun since Wild Bill they say;should I hate'em?/Very cosmopolitan!You're a daisy if ya do!(a bone fide line the real Doc used)...and more.Choose your movie,the character,and why.
