Under rated actors

[bhaexpress]

The bloke I like a lot is John Goodman who made his name in Rosanne. However, he has done a string of excellent films and is far more than just a big fat guy.

Peter MacNicol - was John Cage in Ally McBeal... Top guy

Yep, lots of great performances in Coen Brothers films, especially Big Lebowski. Talking of which, Jeff Bridges is consistently good too.

I'd also go for Bill Murray, Hackman (brilliant in Royal Tenenbaums - has anyone seen Bill Murray in Rushmore by the same director?) and Cusak. Other favourites are William H Macy, Frances McDormand, Joe Mantegna (House of Games, Things Change) and the late J T Walsh.

J T Walsh:

I could quite happily watch Red Rock West and The Last Seduction again soon. Which links quite neatly to:

Bill Pullman,


whatever happened to Bill Pullman? He used to be President.

We have the heavyweights such as De Niro, Pacino, Hopkins etc but who in your opinion is a mighty fine actor who for whatever reason does not get the recognition and awards they deserve for their work.

I my opinion the 2 actors below are on their day as good as the above but do not as yet have an oscar on their mantlepiece.

Tom Cruise
Jim Carrey

Not quite in the under-rated category though GG.

I always remembered the character of 'Billy Bibbitt' in 'ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST', that was acting genius, and the bloke never caught much in the way of parts since......until recently he cropped up in 'LORD OF THE RINGS'. I don't know his name even, but I had to admire his acting talent.

Ray Winstone is a class act, if a little one-dimensional.
