A few others for your consideration:
Edward G. Robinson in Double Indemnity (and I think he's the main reason to watch the minor entry Key Largo)
Elisha Cook, Jr. in The Killing and The Maltese Falcon
Dan Duryea in Scarlet Street and The Woman in the Window
Orson Welles in The Third Man and Touch of Evil

Three off the top of my head:
Paul Kelly in Crossfire.
Glenn Anders in The Lady from Shanghai.
Paul Valentine in Out of the Past (what happened to his career afterwards?)
Plus: I'm not sure whether she really counts as a supporting player, but just in case she does: the wonderful Gloria Grahame!

Dan Duryea in "woman in the Window," "Scarlet Street" and "Criss Cross." Bad news for all concerned.

Can't pick just one. Here's the bad guys. I'll have to mull over the good supporting players.
BAD:
Percy Helton.
He put the "snive" in sniveling.
Jay Adler
HIs characters left a trail of slime in their wake--though there was something appealing about them.
Norman Lloyd
HIs vile characters were often funny and articulate as well as bad apples.
John Hoyt
Minor parts? No problem. This guy managed to make something out of nothing a hundred times.

The thing that always got me about Jay Adler was those eyes!
No matter how much a rat he portrayed, they always seemed to say: I wish I was a better man, I really, really do.
