Tom Noonan is one of the best actors I ever saw in a movie. I've never gotten over his performance in What Happened Was...
He was never a leading man, but every time he showed up, you were getting something new and unexpected. Truly brilliant, even in stuff like RoboCop 2, or giving soul to Frankenstein's monster in Monster Squad. And, really the perfect version of Dolarhyde in Manhunter.
Over the years he retreated from big pictures and that's how we got What Happened Was... We got other appearances here and there - he came in to one episode of Louie and blew the doors off. But his days of playing types in big budget pictures was over.
But, man. What a performer.
