Same thing - more of a character performance as part of a small ensemble, he's in like 1/4 of the movie and Tommy Lee Jones and Brolin take up a lot of room... If you were looking for "performances in a single scene that steal a movie" the gas station scene would do the job but that's not what I'm after here.
Jake Gyllenhal in Nightcrawler is another one that occurs to me as something that's in the same vein but doesn't quite hit the same highs as the all time best.
