When we think back on the films that we love, we often remember the characters that impacted us the most. They're the ones with the most memorable or quotable lines, or they were the creepiest that haunt our nightmares, or they're just plain central to the brilliant plot. But so much has to go into a movie, including world-building, raising the stakes, and other moments of tension and release, that you'd probably be surprised at how little screen time these characters actually get.

But little screen time doesn't mean lesser impact. In fact, it's almost more impressive to consider these characters' influence after seeing how few minutes they had to reach audiences. Many actors have even won Academy Awards for less than 20 minutes of screen time! Click through to see some names and numbers that will surely surprise you.
