i donno if the thread is only about main supporting actors .... i get reminded of some names that frequently comes in most of the side roles:

ennatha kannayya - who got his name after the repeated dialogue of "ennatha solli ennatha senju" in an old movie - dont remember the name though

oru viral krishna rao - guess he is the guy who comes as Sri Devi's father in Varumaiyin niram sivappu ....

vellai subbaiah - the "thirumba thirumba pesara nee" poosari from the vadivelu comedy (enna kaiya pudichu izhuthiyaa ....

they cannot be called as side actors....right?

[Beerinkol]

I first though if it meant MGR side actors or Sivaji side actors

MGR side

Thengai Srinivasan
Isari velan
etc.

Sivaji side
Sasikumar
Prem Ananth
etc.

.... just for fun ....

Seriously if it meant supporting actors -

S.V. Sahasranamam
S.V. Subbiah
T.S. Balaiah (multi faceted)
V. Nagaiah

the list is endless ...

I think Kameshratnam meant side actors not "character" actors. My take is when he mentions the likes of KK Soundar and SS, we should be talking of Peeli Sivams not Baliahs and MR Radhas

I think we should look at those fun candidates who pongufy more than kodutha kaasu at side actor level. Again that rules out AVM Rajan, because he was doing the same at main actor or main character actor level.
My nomination:
Peeli Sivam. pEr Sollum piLLaila oru road roller avara kolla varum bOdhu oru expression koduppAr pArunga.....EndA kamal vandhu kAppAtinArnu irukkum!

[Slonopotam845]

kalairANi qualifies but I think she got herself reasonably main character actor roles so that rules her out.
