Favorite Coen brothers' Regular?

[The Other]

Who's your favorite actor that regularly stars in movies made by the Coen brothers?

Steve Buscemi
Frances McDormand
John Goodman
John Turturro
Holly Hunter
Jon Polito
Michael Badalucco

That's the list of actors I could think of. There might be more. There probably is.

I'm going to have to say JOHN GOODMAN. He is very under-rated, but he is extremely funny and a talented comedic actor. I liked him on the television series ROSEANNE and many of his movies. I like his voice-over work as well (a la Monsters, Inc.). So John Goodman gets my vote.

Holly Hunter. She is just brilliant. She stole O Brother Where Art Thou with just a few lines.

It's a tough call between Steve Buscemi and John Turturro

[Obrotherrules]

I agree, Kavan. She (Holly Hunter) really did a LOT with her role, and she was hilarious! However, given the question, I do wonder what makes a Coens regular. I don't think any actor has ever made every Coen Brothers movie. But of those on the list of regulars, Badalucco has to be the winner. To play such a lovable gangster in O BROTHER, and then to switch to a loudmouth barber, and to do so well, is not bad.

[Strider]

I would go with Steve Buscemi. He's a great actor, and IMO, I think he's very underrated.

John Turturro

He was The Jesus, and no one fucks with The Jesus!

[Nate6]

I'll have to agree with The Other, I find John Goodman the most entertaining and the most underrated. Although it's close between he and Buscemi.

Also, Obrotherrules makes an excellent point about Badalucco.

John Goodman is the most consistently different and fun.

Tuturo
Goodman
and Buschemi

all are great in all of their roles, but their best roles were all when they are together in The Big Lebowski.

Steve Buscemi, no John Goodman, no I'll go with Turturro, or McDormand, maybe Holly Hunter, dammit I can't decide.
