SamplesBoiNo, modern Hollywood rarely features actors with a facial structure resembling Marty Feldman, whose distinctively prominent, bulging eyes were the result of Graves' disease and childhood injuries. Contemporary casting trends and widespread cosmetic correction mean unique facial irregularities are rarely seen on screen today.
Why Feldman Was Unique
• Medical impact: His condition caused severe exophthalmos (bulging eyes).
• Deliberate choice: He refused corrective surgeries, viewing his unusual face as a professional asset.
• The "Novelty" factor: He stood out in an industry that typically favors symmetrical features.
If you are looking for character actors known for unconventional or striking appearances rather than traditional leading-man looks, I can list a few contemporary names for you. Let me know!

Mel Brooks cast him too, in Men In Tights. Mel must have liked weird looking dudes. Marty Feldman does a great job in Young Frankenstein.
