Who is films biggest Loser?(pathetic character)

For a while i was pretty convinced that if any director needed to Loser they should get William H Macy.
But after recently watching The Assisnation of Richard Nixon (which i thought was ripping off Taxi Driver)I would have to say that Sean Penn's character Samuel J. Bicke is my new all time "biggest loser in film."

who's yours?

Which character from a film have you ever wanted to give a good kick up the arse for being sooooo pathetic?

oh. biggrin

right off hand, the first character that comes to mind is donut from "switchblade sisters". she's the chubby chick in a girl gang (actually, she's merely voluptuous, but i guess we're supposed to think she has body image issues or something) and she's always taking the blame so the other girls will like her. every other scene when they get their asses kicked, donut's always saying "i'm sorry - it was my fault!"

i'm like, okay, first off, quit calling yourself "donut". disbelief

Well, I still cringe @ the part in Swingers where Favreau leaves the message for the girl he just met lol He's not the loser in the end but he is SO pathetic @ that point. I'll go w/ that moment for now smile

Both of my fave "losers" have been mentioned....as an actor, William H. Macy in "Boogie Nights" and "The Cooler" makes you wince at the screen...and John Favreau's scene in "Swingers" is painful to watch....

That guy has a subsciption on roles like that.....Fargo, anyone??

Great actor!

Also, Philip Seymour Hoffman has had his share: Boogie Nights (as well), 25th Hour.... to name a few.

Steve Buscemi makes a good "loser" in a lot of his roles.
