Philip Baker Hall is one of those character actors who you see all the time but never take note of. However, his portrayal of Mr. Bookman, the library cop in an episode of "Seinfeld" (1990) has to go down as one of the all time comedy classics. His dead pan delivery about overdue library books, made this episode of "Seinfeld" (1990) one of their best ever.

Starred alone in Robert Altman's Secret Honor (1984), a fictional account of Richard Nixon's life after the White House, making him one of the few actors to ever carry an entire film.
