Actors Who Have Real Talent But Got Overlooked in Hollywood

[Kelly]

Tommy Flanagan is awesome......I love this actor...

 

[Kelly]

But out of all of them, this guy right here is the most underrated actor in Hollywood today...

Steve Zahn

 

[Dr. Evil]

These actors would have been overlooked if it wasn't for the numerous awards they have won:

- Daniel Day Lewis
- Phillip Seymour Hoffman
- Forrest Whitaker
- Javier Bardem

That makes no sense.

 

[Kelly]

lmao.....

 

[SuperFerret]

That makes no sense.

Yeah, it does. They'd be overlooked if they were overlooked. Duh.

Steve Zahn

That is so very true. He was great in Speak.

 

[cookiva]

Yeah, it does. They'd be overlooked if they were overlooked. Duh.

Ah. Got it.

My list, according to Dr Evil's rules, is as follows.

Tom Hanks
Leonardo DiCaprio
Denzel Washington
Tom Cruise
Every other actor/actress in the history of the world.

^^ LOL

That is so very true. He was great in Speak.

And recently also in Shattered Glass. Steve Zahn should have more dramatic roles instead of being always the second-rate funny (but lame) sidekick.

you know.... except for Arnold (for various reasons) and the security guard (for various reasons), you never hear from any of them anymore.

Especially this guy:

Joe Morton

Almost always plays the scientist who nobody listens to in Terminator 2, Forever Young, Smallville. On another note, he was also in Lone Star, Crossroads(1986), and The Brother From Another Planet (1984).

I just read somewhere that a film student met Joe Morton on the subway, and asked for his advice.

He told him: "Do more theater. All young kids, fresh out of school, they all want to be famous and get on TV and film, but then once they're there, they don't have the talent for the staying power. Do more theater. In the theater they look at your whole body. But on TV you'll only have from [your chest] up. If you go into theater you'll be better at everything."

Good advice I say.



Speaking of another cast member on T2, FYI - Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) was actually on Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Ultimate Edition). This dream sequence of Sarah Connor was deleted:

 

[Warhammer]

These actors would have been overlooked if it wasn't for the numerous awards they have won:

That makes no sense.

[Octoberist]

Peter Skarsgard

 

[Tempest19]

Danny DeVito (watch 'Danny the Bear')

 

[Secret Fawful]

Brendan Frasier is awesome...


As awesome as...Bruce Campbell.


The two I agree with most in this topic^

 

[Dark Donnie]

Peter Saarsgard is a good one.

 

[Octoberist]

Peter for some reason, can't get the recognition that he deserves..

 

[Stryder]

Danny DeVito (watch 'Danny the Bear')

Watch "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia".

 

[Warhammer]

DeVito is overlooked? He is an A-lister.

 

[phillyboy]

Lou Gossett Jr.

 

[Tempest19]

DeVito is overlooked? He is an A-lister.

Should have been more specific. Most- I believe- see the comedian side of him more than the dramatic side he also has. Similarly to how most view Zaughn as the funny guy while he also is capable of excellent dramatic roles as well. So overlooked in the sense that most overlook the dramatic side remembering him more for the laughs than the drama.

 

[Stryder]

Stacy Keach

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Powers Boothe

 

[kronos251]

^ Sometimes, I mistake him for Stacey Keach. i agree, Another underrated actor as well.

Ditto.


Scott Glenn -

The Right Stuff, Absolute Power, Courage Under Fire, Silence of the Lambs, Backdraft, Hunt For Red October.... gah, he hasn't won, not even been nominated for ANYTHING. Aaand he's almost 70.

 

[Dark Donnie]

William Fichtner

 

[Figs]

I second the vote for William Fichtner

 

[That-Guy]

Analogy.

Ever.

Thanks, bud! Also, I agree with your comment about LOST. lol
