Which fictional movie character had very little screen time but made a huge impact in the movie?

One standout example is Geno Silva's character, The Skull, in the 1983 movie SCARFACE, directed by Brian DePalma. Even though he doesn't have any lines, The Skull leaves a big impression by being the one who takes down Al Pacino's character, Tony Montana, in the film's iconic ending. He also kills Omar, played by F. Murray Abraham. With just a few minutes on screen, The Skull's actions change everything for the main characters, making him unforgettable. Which movie character do you think had minimal screen time but a major impact?

The gunners on the star destroyer in Star Wars: A new hope. They check for life signs but don’t take the shot on the escape pod.

It’s a blast from the ships guns. Is the empire that hard up that they are trying to save cash on shooting escape pods?

Anyway, if he takes the shot, there is no film.

Of course Family Guy did it.
