Underrated actors

[SUP-Ronin]

Nick Cage and Keanu Reeves come to mind.

Seriously though, Harvey Keitel.

Rachel Weisz showed brilliant range in The Constant Gardner, solid supporting turn in About A Boy and for the popcorn crowd the first 2 Mummy movies. Can't wait to see her in The Lovely Bones. Talent much deeper than just a pretty face.

Kate Beckinsale.....man I love her, she is sooooo hot. Oh yeah this is about acting....she is a good actress too. Beauty and talent.

Depp is finally getting accolades after the past 7-8 years of hit movies. I always thought he was a good actor, even on 21 Jump Street

[Zemo]

Dwayne Johnson aka the rock his acting is phenomenal.

Hey everyone has their own view on things, but the Rock phenomenal?

[Random Axe]

Dennis Quaid - He's always solid to awesome in every role. It doesn't matter how bad the movie, you always end up liking his character(Day After Tomorrow anyone?) He's as good as anyone out there, period.

Matt Damon is pretty outstanding too. Some of his charm and talent is subtle but his roles are always interesting.

Kate Walsh - I really don't know much about her acting ability, I just think she's so, so freakin hot.

Scott

Heck yeah,His role in walking tall was great,gridiron gang great job,Be cool was hilarous.Even the job he did in witch mountain.I also thought he was good in the one where he was a football guy with the little daughter.
I'm just saying he has developed into a great actor.His early stuff meh but now he is more than decent....LOL
I think he could hold his own with any hollywood type.
Better than arnold or sylvester anyday.

Leonardo DeCaprio is still underrated in my opinion. Most people associate him with Titanic but I thought he did an outstanding job in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape".

Johnny Depp is another one. I realize he takes on a lot of eccentric and oddball roles but he is a really good actor.

Neither are underrated...they are quite the opposite...no...I'm not saying overrated...but most see them as great actors already...by a mile.

[Hector]

Gary Oldman

Another one...he's well respected by everyone already.

[Hector]

Hate him


Love him

I don't know why you love Depp but hate DiCaprio...both are solid actors.

In real life...DiCaprio is more thoughtful and smarter...hear him in interviews.

Depp on the other hand...is more pretentious and full of himself.

Is it because of Titanic?

[Hector]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt...the best young actor today...but does not have the publicity of overrated Shia LaBeouf.

Look for Joseph Gordon-Levitt to become an A-lister soon.

I hope annoying Shia LaBeouf just goes away.

[Hector]

I'm also a big fan of actor Jason Bateman...who is finally getting his due.

[Donkey Hoatie]

Hector you're spot on with your recommendation of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So underrated. Same goes with Bateman.

Another guy I'd throw into the mix is Ryan Gosling. Watch the movie Half-Nelson and tell me he doesn't own that role. A great, great, underrated performance.

Like him in Brick. Have been meaning to check out him in The Lookout & (500) Days of Summer.

[txteach]

I like Shia LaBeouf but he is no Charlton Heston.

I also think Bruce Willis is very underrated. He has done dramatic, comedy (not his best moments), and action movies.

Gene Hackman is a genius that unfortunately is not mentioned with the greats. He deserves to be there though.

[QUOTE=johnnystorm;436628]Jeff Daniels- a guy who can play funny (Dumb & Dumber), drama (Gettysburg), kids (101 Dalmations).

for sure ... he's who I first thought of when I read the topic
