Some people here are not getting what OP is talking about.  He's talking about someone who is in the movie for less than five minutes, maybe less than one minute, with just a little dialogue.

Some of the characters being listed were in half the movie.

I think Pyle, Elvis, upham all have large enough roles in their movies.  Pesci?  We all know the actor, does anyone even know that character's name?

Kids are watching empire strikes back and it occurred to me that pretty much everyone knows who Dak is.  Only a couple lines and dies rather unceremoniously.

Also Marvin from pulp fiction.

Who's your vote for most well known character with slightly more than a role of extra?

Boba Fett was pretty unremarkable. No idea how he got such a following.

A lot of people don't realize the Roman Centurion at the end of "The Greatest Story ever told" is John Wayne whose only part in the whole movie was to stand there and say one line....

"He truly was the son of God!"

Inspired casting and dialogue. Minor scene that almost eclipses the rest of the movie. Winner.

Holy hell, they’re brothers?

Never knew that.

Mainly remember him as the radar operator in Austin Powers but I know he’s been in a TON of stuff.

I'm pretty sure Clint is in every single movie directed by Ron.  Even Rance, their father was cast in Ron's movies.  Ron kept their SAG memberships active.

Not my “favorite”, and not the most iconic.

But I’m not sure any character has been so universally known by almost everyone, for having one tiny line, and almost no impact on the film whatsoever, than this guy

Tom Cruise in the Tropic Thunder

Billy Bob Thornton in The Apostle and Tombstone.  His bit parts add a lot to any movie.

If I understand what OP is asking, the answer has to be Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.
