• Wallace-Shon is removed because his role is an essential part rather than a role-player heat check.
• Andre the Giant and Mandy Patinkin are also ruled too central.
• Chris Sarandon wins for playing the biggest prick without worrying about the movie’s wonderful overacting.
• Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest are explicit eligible alternatives.
• Christopher Guest has a pivotal but very small final-third role under heavy makeup.
• The panel says everybody overacts in a wonderful way, while Sarandon fully commits to the villain’s humiliation.
