Underated Actors & Actresses

Hi All,
This thread will discuss who we believe to be those actors and actresses who are generally shunned by the movie industry all opinions again welcome and to start the ball rolling here are my choices:

William H Macy
Stephen Rea
& Liam Cunningham

Frances O'Conner.
She doesn't get a lot of attention, but she has been cast with roles in AI (she was the mother of the child), Bedazzled (Alison/Nicole), and Mansfield Park (Fanny Price). All the parts she has played in these movies are extremely different roles and all done to perfection. One her her goals is to be able to fill any role that someone calls on her to do. Basically she wants to be the greatest actress she can be.

And she has a great mouth.

Aaron Stanford, alias John 'Pyro' Allerdyce from X2. Quite the puppy. And looks kinda cute, too.

~AI

Ray Liota. He's a great actor but basicly (sp)all his roles are as a secundary!

Good Choices so far people i luv Frances Mc Dormand in Bedazzled.
Ray Littotia In Turbulence & Heartbreakers.

Uh... the guy who played Wills in Dog Soldiers. He's pretty cool.

~AI

Sean Biggerstaff (aka Oliver Wood) not exactly underrated, but undercast. its like he dissappeared off the face of the earth

still upset about him not being in HP3 🙁

The dude that was in the bit hit and the perfect storm he is the dude that was named melvin in the big hit i dont know his real name but he is a good actor.

and by the way slayerchick u got a good signature i like those too lines especilly the billy madison one.

I dont think Jason Stratham gets enough credit. He's a great actor. Funny in Snatch and I could see him as a Bond(if he had more hair)

Scott Cohen... He is an amazing actor for playing a few characters on tv. I forget the movies he was in but I know he played in The 10th Kingdom and also another made for tv film... I have his autograph!

Two words, GARY BUSEY!!!!!!!!!! Most underrated actor in film history for a guy whose been in over 100 films since 1971.

Steve Buscemi

Jeff Bridges, Tobey Maguire

gotta go with jeanluc

definitely Steve Buscemi for the guys

for the girls, Gabrielle Union tends to get pigeon-holed into certain roles, but I think she would be good in anything

Thank you DeNiro! 😄

Oh: FLICKNAVY and VampirePrinces, excellent choices! Jason Statham and Scott Cohen are amazing!

I think that its that photographer in "We Were Soldiers", he was also in "Knockaround guys", I think his name is Barry Pepper.

Gary Oldman
Bonnie Hunt (sp)

I agree with Mark Wahlberg, i think he's one of my favorite actors ever. In the Italien Job especially he was really good.
Also i don't know about how it is now, but a few years back Jake Gyllenhal(sp?) in October Sky was really great and i remember thinking he should be the next breakout star.

Chris Cooper - The guy who kills Kevin Spacy in American Beauty and helps train Sea Buscuit and battles Nick Cage in Adaptation.
