6
Willie Garson
TV deals in very broad strokes. Like, 'Oh, that's my dumb friend', or, 'That's my funny friend.' A true best friend, a sidekick, has to be a little deeper then that. You have to feel like there's nothing either character won't do. That someone really, really has their back.
7
China Mieville
I always felt sorry for the sidekick as a kid. They never got their due and it left a very bad taste in the mouth - they are defined by a subordinate relationship to someone else. I always felt like a bit of sidekick when I was a kid and it didn't feel fair.

Jessie Mueller
I always loved playing the sidekick, and that's what I expected - I didn't think I was pretty enough or diva enough to play the lead.

10
Sam Riley
I'm Angelina Jolie's sidekick in 'Maleficent'. It's cool.
