Oscars Won For Less Than 20 Minutes Of Screen Time
1,558The craft of acting requires a boatload of talent and luck, but presence and charisma also go a long way. Acclaimed actor John Cazale barely had any lines in 1975’s Dog Day Afternoon alongside Al Pacino, but displayed a clinic in how to give a compelling performance without saying much.
Acting is behavior and compelling behavior and presence don’t necessarily mean being the loudest in the room or scene. There are actors who barely had more than two scenes in a movie and still managed to have their presence felt.
The great actors shine on camera whether they are the lead or a supporting cast member. They play their part convincingly no matter how large or small the role, and are sometimes bestowed their industry's highest honor for it. Here are actors who won Oscars with less than 20 minutes of screen time.
