Added DiffLines:

* BitCharacter: His character Artie in ''Film/{{Dreamhouse}}'' was apparently meant to have an important role helping Daniel Craig's character solve the murder mystery, but for some reason it appears his part was cut almost completely leaving him with practically only one line.


Added DiffLines:

* ChewingTheScenery: His villanous character Slick in ''Film/{{HoboWithAShotgun}}''


Added DiffLines:

* TheDanza: Plays a kid named Greg in ''Film/{{Zenon}}''.
* DemotedToExtra: Artie in ''Film/{{Dreamhouse}}''
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Arguably Dov Epstein in ''Series/{{RookieBlue}}''


Added DiffLines:

* TheHeavy: Although Drake is the Big Bad in ''Film/{{HoboWithAShotgun}}'', it is Slick who drives the plot forward the most.


Added DiffLines:

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Plays an incredibly violent and sadistic villain in ''Film/HoboWithAShotgun'' but is very easy going in interviews, and is remembered by his former Everwood cast mates as a quiet, even shy guy.
