Who can forget this Academy Award-winning performance—or her biological clock ticking away? (Insert stomping here.)

Marisa Tomei Today at The Ides of March Premiere, 2011

Since stomping out her breakthrough role, this native New Yorker has popped out hits like In the Bedroom (for which she got her second Oscar nom), What Women Want, Anger Management, Alfie, The Wrestler (which earned her a third Oscar nom!), and Crazy, Stupid, Love. She continues to defy the clock with her strong, sexy characters—she was last seen in Love is Strange and has three films slated for 2015.

Who can forget his painful, stutter-riddled opening statement as Stan’s attorney? Correction: first attorney.

Austin Pendleton Today at the All-Star Reading of Hamlet, 2012

You might not always know his name, but this film, stage, and screen character actor has made a career out of memorable roles like the villain in The Muppet Movie, Gurgle in Finding Nemo, and Senator Joe Lieberman in Game Change.

Who can forget him as the expert auto witness blown out of the water by Lisa’s more expert testimony? (Ouch.)

This witness has more than proven his credibility, with an enviable list of film and TV credits on his rap sheet, like Scent of a Woman, Carlito’s Way, Meet the Parents, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Reel Steel, Law & Order, White Collar, and Homeland. Sadly, we lost Rebhorn in March 2014.

Joe Pesci as Vinny Gambini in My Cousin Vinny

Who doesn’t want a cousin like Vinny? This smooth-talking sharp dresser gets the job done with no B.S.!

A little less hair and a lot more street cred later, his resume is as packed with tough guys as it is, dare I say, clowns—Raging Bull, Home Alone (1 and 2), Goodfellas, Casino, Lethal Weapon (2 through 4)—with that much versatility, he must be a clown (I’m sorry, Joe, but you amuse me.)

Lane Smith as Jim Trotter III in My Cousin Vinny

Who can forget him as Vinny’s adversarial prosecuting attorney?

Though he is no longer with us (he passed away in 2005), Lane Smith lives on through iconic roles like newspaper editor Perry White in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Richard Nixon in The Final Days (which got him a Golden Globe nom).

Maury Chaykin as Sam Tipton in My Cousin Vinny

Who can forget his "self-respecting" Southerner’s recount of proper grit-making, which questioned the credibility of his time line and helped change the course of Vinny’s case?

Though we lost him to kidney disease in 2010, this talented character actor left behind a string of memorable roles, like computer programmer Jim Sting in War Games, the title role in the TV series A Nero Wolfe Mystery, and Harvey Weingard, a Harvey Weinstein-esque producer on Entourage.

Who can forget the softer-spoken of the two yutes?

Mitchell Whitfield Today at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Premier, 2007

Well versed in playing nebbishy characters, Mitchell not only began his career starring in Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues, he also played Rachel’s infamous ex-fiancé, Barry the Orthodontist, on Friends. Though his most recent on-screen credit is the zomedy (zombie comedy) Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, you may have also heard him as the voice of Donatello in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or on any number of commercials, video games, and children’s television shows.

Ralph Macchio as Bill Gambini in My Cousin Vinny

Who can forget the stunned look on his face when he realized he was being accused of murder because "he shot the clerk"?

Ralph Macchio Today at the Entertainment Weekly & Women In Film Pre-Emmy Party, 2011

Though he still looks like the "yute" that got into trouble, Macchio’s actually 50. That makes for plenty of time to be an "outsider," wax on (and off), dance with the stars, try his hand at politics via Ugly Betty, and spoof himself in Wax On, F*ck Off. And now he’s embarking on a new venture: executive producer of American Gypsies, a new show on the National Geographic Channel about one of Manhattan’s prominent Gypsy families.
