Seriously unappreciated actors/actresses....

[ohiosmith]

Bill Pullman.

[Broken_Hero]

1. Hmm,

Kurtwood Smith, and Chris Cooper come immediately to mind....

[Bertha Venation]

13. Chris Cooper has an Oscar

He is a great actor. I love him.

[BlueJazz]

2. Michael Shannon

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. David Strathairn

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Absolutely!

He's a hottie, too.

[Bertha Venation]

14. + 1

He was robbed when he was up for best actor for "Good Night and Good Luck."

4. Maria Bello

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. One of my favorites... Brad Dourif (and NOT because he was the voice of the evil doll Chucky).

From his Globe Award-winning role for Best Acting Debut for his work as Billy Bibbitt
in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (actually his second film), for which he also
received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor:
.
Nurse Ratched: Aren't you ashamed?
Billy: No, I'm not.
(applause from friends]
Nurse Ratched: You know Billy, what worries me is how your mother is going to take this.
Billy: Um, um, well, y-y-y-you d-d-d-don't have to t-t-t-tell her, Miss Ratched.
Nurse Ratched: I don't have to tell her? Your mother and I are old friends. You know that.
Billy: P-p-p-please d-d-don't tell my m-m-m-mother.

... to his 4-or-5 episode-appearances in Star Trek Voyager as one of the most interesting
Star Trek characters ever -- a serial killer in a society so emotionally and psychologically
healthy that it had no contingency plan for how to deal with a killer... to his role as Doc
Cochrane in "Deadwood".

11. he was great in Mississippi burning

[CBGLuthier]

12. He is great but he played Doc Cochran

not one of those dumbass e on a end guys.

Sorry, but it happens to be my name so I deride the e ending Cochranes.

He had a great turn in Babylon Five too. That was probably the basis for the ST character as they stole everything from B5.

[TuxedoKat]

6. Andy Garcia

Would like to see him in more films.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

7. Charles Napier

Who had the misfortune of dieing the same day as Steve Jobs ( )

8. I've been noticing this British actor lately

Eddie Redmayne. He's getting bigger rolls and I like his work. Look him up to see what all he has been in. You'd recognize his face, I'm sure, even if you don't recognize his name. I'd post a picture but I'm somewhat technologically challenged and haven't figured out that trick yet.

Here are the movies I've seen him in:
Birdsong - Masterpiece Theater PBS (he had the lead in this one)
My Week with Marilyn
Glorious39 (just saw this a week ago - rented the video)
The Other Bolyn Girl
Elizabeth I
Elizabeth the Golden Age

[Frank Cannon]

10. Fred Ward

[Bertha Venation]

15. Ed Harris

One of my favorite actors. He was nominated for an Oscar a few years ago.

He wasn't nominated for "The Abyss," which I think is a crime.

But I think he was at his best in "The Hours."

16. Daryl Hannah
