There are countless recognizable faces in Bollywood movies that we associate with their onscreen characters and movies even if we may barely remember their names. Some got type cast for a role that the fans enjoyed them in and they perfected over the years. The dedication, professionalism and quality of these character actors raised the level of the movies over the years. This is a small tribute to some of these wonderful talented actors who were essential in creating the true atmosphere and soul of Indian movies.
David - Bollywood's wise uncle was an exceptional actor and master of ceremony. Chacha Nehru even mentioned in one of his speech that any event would be incomplete without a few wise words from David Abraham Cheulkar. He was the good uncle that the leading man or lady always reached out to for advise in more than 100 movies like Boot Polish, Abhimaan, Chupke Chupke, Golmaal, Khubsoorat and many many more. David was a body builder in his youth, compered several sports events and as a member of the Indian Olympic Association attended several Olympics across the globe. He won a best supporting actor filmfare award for Boot Polish and was also honored with the Padma Shri.
Mukri - Bollywood's little big man worked as a Qazi before his school friend Dilip Kumar offered him a small role in one of his movies. Mukri went onto star in more than 600 movies mostly in small comic roles including most of Dilip Kumar's hits. He played several cute lovable side characters in movies like Padosan, Naseeb, Karma and his most memorable characters of "Tayyab Ali" in Amar Akbar Anthony and "Nathuram" with his legendary mustache in Sharaabi. When he passed away in 2000, his life long friend Dilip Kumar sat next to his bedside till the very end.
Nazir Hussain - Bollywood's eternal bechara (Helpless) father of countless family dramas was a freedom fighter in Netaji's Indian National Army. He was a regular feature of Bimal Roy and Dev Anand movies during the golden era and was instrumental in starting the Bhojpuri film industry. Devdas, Yahudi, Ganga Jumna, Jewel Thief, Kati Patang and Amar Akbar Anthony were among his best movies. The depth of melancholy achieved in some of his performances was legendary.
Lalita Pawar - Bollywood's evil mother in law and tyrant was among the most prolific, diverse and talented character artists of all time. She started her career as a child artist in the 1928 remake of Raja Harishchandra before becoming a leading a

Okay, is it just me or does Abu Nazir (Season 1 & 2 antagonist) look like an arab David Wallace from The Office?
I would appreciate feedback about my character as well as suggestions how to improve him if you've any.
So I'm creating a story in which the main character is a man called Axel (literal meaning: "Peace of the Father"), he's an immortal warrior that is part of a precursor race of aliens called Nazirs that possess great magical abilities, matter of fact he's the Prince of the Nazirs, son of King Avidor (Literal meaning: "Father of the Generation"). The Nazirs live in the Garden of Eden (which isn't actually an afterlife as humans believe) and they act as guardians of Earth and for thousands of years they send agents to Earth to lead and guide humanity, and to fight against similar beings from other words that try and control humanity. They employ a cult of worshippers called The Nazarites which act as their eyes and ears in the mortal world.
At one point in the story Axel goes to Earth to lead the Israelites in the war against the Philistines, who are being controlled by a rival alien. Axel claims the identity of Samson, a mortal monk, and he lies to the mortals that his power come from God so they agree to follow his lead. His powers have no connection to God, his hair or from being a monk. Eventually he fakes his death when the biblical Samson "dies" and Axel travels back to Eden. The story eventually progresses to modern day to a point in which he acts as more of a superhero called The Nazir, living on earth with a secret identity.
His abilities are:
-Superhuman strength, allowing him to lift up to 100 ton.
Superhuman Agility and Speed: Allowing him to perform great leaps, acrobatics abilities and move/react much faster than humanly possible.
Superhuman Durability: Completely bulletproof to modern human weapons, resistance to heat and cold (for comparison, lava will be as hot to him as boiling water is to humans. Nasty burn, not necessarily life threatening unless he swims in it) and is merely stunned/knocked out by direct missile fire. Also can continue fighting for weeks straight without getting tired.
-Ageless Immortality, can still be killed by other means.
-Immunity to all Earthly diseases.
-Extraordinary fighting abilities and excellent military tactician.
-Supernatural Charm: Magical charm which makes him nearly irresistible to most mortals who are attracted to men.
He also posses magical weapons, which are based on biblical artifacts:
-The Flaming Sword: A magical sword which isn't actually on fire but just glows, which cuts through n
