TOP TELUGU CHARACTER ACTORS | hguy.blogspot.com

Jaggayya : I believe started as a hero but gained fame as a character actor. He is known for his booming voice. He played the role of Pontious Pilate in Karunamaydu and Rutherford in Aluri Sita Rama Raju. I remember him from Chiranjeevi's Nyayam Kavali where he played a lawyer.

Gummadi: Seen in many social and mythological movies, he is one of those taken-for-granted actors. I can't name one movie where I remember him - maybe Maya Bazar where he played Balrama - even though it says he worked in 500 movies.
 

 

Satyanarayana: So talented that he was specially asked by Subhash Ghai to debut in Hindi in his film Karma. He first made his mark as a villain and went on to become the top villains of the day. From there he moved to positive and humorous roles with great success. He was a perfect fit for the place vacated by SV Ranga Rao. He is most noted for playing Yama in a couple of movies. 

Rao Gopal Rao: A great actor with a unique dialog delivery. He took villainy to new heights and mixed it, surprisingly, with humor. I remember him from Mutyala Muggu, Yamudi Ki Mogudu and Gang Leader.

Kanta Rao : He has been seen in hundreds of movies as a character actor but go back and you see him as a hero in many swashbucklers wearing those tight pants and with pencil-thin swords. 

Dhulipala Seetarama Sastry  : One of the great actors of the Telugu screen best known for the many time he played Shakuni on it. He owned the character.
