Movie Theater Most underrated actor/actress?

[BALLISTIC]

My contention is William Dafoe. I love his character in every movie, and his spectrum of acting is far superior as far as different roles than many other actors.

I cannot decide which character I like better, Lt. Cmdr. Virgil 'Tiger' Cole in 'Flight of the Intruder' or FBI agent Paul Smecker in 'Boondock Saints'. Either way, totally different characters, and still a wealth of talent and entertainment.
What is your suggestion?

 

[shootist2004]

yeah he was great in Platoon....
I vote for Gary Oldman.....

When I read the title of the thread, Willem Dafoe was actually the first name to pop into my head. That being said, I'm gonna go with Sean Connery, because no matter how awesome you think he is, you are underestimating.

 

[Graham]

Kevin Spacey. Because he can sing and dance, too.

Anne Hathaway....Although since Les Mis she's no longer underrated.

 

[WyldeDime]

Gary Oldman is great.

My vote is for Christian Bale.

 

[kcshooter]

Tom seizmore. He was great in black hawk down, and saving private Ryan.

I second this. The guy can literally play anything and gets recognition for nothing hardly. It's a shame he has just gotten nominated for an oscar he definitely deserves one.

Sam Rockwell is a very worth mention as well, guy can do just about anything. Most people have no idea who he is till they see him.

Chris Cooper

Robert Duvall

I don't see how Robert Duvall is underrated he's been nominated for six oscars and won one lol.

Tom Selleck

 

[leprechaun]

William Dafoe is pretty versatile with range & underrated . He been around the block & well seasoned .
& HEY, You BIGTIME forgot one of his character roles that I will Never be able to get out of my mind . The role of that crazyassfuck psychotic ( Bobby Peru ) in, 'wild at heart' .

Dont forget .
Quote ..." speaking of Jack, One eyed Jack's yearning to go a peeping in a seafood store ".

& just 'One' of the Memorial Scenes of Bobby Peru .

Tom Cruise

 

[Cartman]

yeah he was great in Platoon....

My first thought. He could have six Oscars and would still be underrated.

Good call on Alan Rickman. If I ever meet him I'll tell him his best role was that episode of King of the Hill.
