Author Topic: Who do you think is underratted? James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-06-2005 10:15 AM                     Since we have a thread for the overrated, it's only right to have one for the underrated. This doesn't necceccarily have to be people who don't get reviewed as well as they should be, but also for people who aren't as popular as they ought to be for their talent. Maggie Gyllenhaal William H. Macy I may think of more later.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Macy is underrated, I also believe that Billy Connolly is very underrated as an actor...one more, Christian Bale is very very undrrated for the talent that he has...he has a range very seldom seen in actors today.

I've been a fan of his since Newsies, he plays such a large range of roles it is unbelievable. Giovanni Ribisi - My all time favorite, I tend to have thing for underratted actors. In case you don't know who he is, he played the blonde guy in Flight of the Phoenix, he was also in Saving Private Ryan, Gone in 60 Seconds, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-06-2005 11:23 AM                        Giovanni Ribisi for sure! And I'm sure both Rachel and I agree that his nude scene in Suburbia was quite a nice piece of eye candy Forest Whitaker and John C Riley should have had an Oscar in their hands long ago... And I'm glad Don Cheadle is finally getting some praise.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-06-2005 11:37 AM                     I have to concur with Allison on this one...John C. Reilly is another great actor that is not given the credit he has earned Kurt  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-06-2005 02:34 PM                     As I said in the other thread, John C. Reilly. But as for others that are "underrated" I'd say: Don Cheadle Brenden Gleeson Alan Rickman John Goodman Robbie Coltrane AJG  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-08-2005 12:04 PM                        Agreed on Maggie Gyllenhaal--she's both talented and attractive. I hope to see more of her. Also, Kelly Macdonald (best known for her performance in Trainspotting, but also from Two-Family House, Gosford Park, and others).  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-09-2005 11:16 AM                    Giovanni Ribisi? Puhlease. I have no idea why people cast him.  |  IP: Logged
