All great choices so far. Doubleday is really one of those ones you wish had gotten bigger roles than he did, but even in those two minor roles in the Carpenter movies, he made a hell of a lasting impression.
Pastorelli I remember a lot from my childhood, especially on Murphy Brown and, rather embarrassingly, in the Mara Wilson/Martin Short movie A Simple Wish. The funny thing is though, even in something as cloying and childish as A Simple Wish, the father/daughter scenes between Wilson and Pastorelli are genuinely heartfelt and effective. I have no doubt he would've had a much bigger career were it not for his troubled personal life and untimely death.
Noonan, of course, is an utter force of nature and another one of my favorites. Even if he's not a huge success in the mainstream, I'm happy that he's gotten some real artistic recognition in more recent years, mainly due to his work with Charlie Kaufman:
