Favourite Underappreciated Actor

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

SEARCH BAR APPROVED!

What actor in any movie, or TV series, do you think deserves much more credit than they get?

For me it's Tim Roth and the woman who plays Lillian Rush on Cold Case. I know that Tim Roth was in Resevoir Dogs, but I didn't hear anything about him until the show, "Lie To Me", which he does a grand job of acting in that.

And the woman playing Detective Rush, does a pretty grand job in Cold Case. If you haven't seen an episode (THIS IS NOT ADVERTISING, I SWEAR) go see one.

James Ransone, played Ziggy in the second season of the Wire and Josh Pearson in Generation Kill. Absoluely hilarious actor and can switch to Drama in an instant.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Not sure how 'Underrated' they are but they're certainly not famous.

Jackie Earl Haley (Rorshach-Watchmen)
Jonathan Pryce (Sam Lowry-Brazil)

Most of the actors I like are pretty-well known (Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, etc.)

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

Ron Perlman - Hell Boy, the leader in Sons of Anarchy, random guy in a shitload of movies.

Christian Bale - Odd choice sure but most people only know Batman or Terminator. He's one of those actors that goes the extra ten miles. In one movie he went down to 80 lbs to portray the character right. When you could die doing acting you fucking rock.

Daniel Day Lewis - One of those people who will be entirely in character at all times while working.

Liam Neeson - Makes awesome movies.
