I’m gonna go with Joe Pantoliano and Ray Liotta.
BTW, John Lithgow is not a character actor; he has incredible range. See Twilight Zone the Movie.

Nathan Lane- so incredibly talented with his voice and body. You would, of course, know him as the voice of Timon from "The Lion King", and also from "The Birdcage".
Parker Posey- quirky and hilarious, not to mention she is in her 40’s and could pass for 24! She is with the Christopher Guest crew, who do movies like "Best in Show", "Waiting for Guffman", "For your Consideration"… and the improvise a good portion of those movies.
Zoey Deschanel- also quirky and adorable! I also consider her to be one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood. You would have seen her in "The Hitchhiker’s Guide" and "Elf".
Honorable mentions go to Dick Van Dyke…. and… Ben Stiller (and coincidentally they were in Night at the Museum together).
I only say honorable mentions because they are pretty popular… or at least Dick Van Dyke was in his heydey, but I still don’t think they are as appreciated as they deserve. Ben Stiller is a really versatile character actor if you think about it. But then he succumbed to playing the straight guy typecast for a while and he got a reputation for being just a mediocre comedian, grouped in with the likes of Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell. But he’s much more than that.
