Actors that are Underrated...
I'll start:
Nathan Fillion.
This guy can play straight, psycho, funny. He can do anything....He's a great actor, but so underused.
Oh, and he's cute too:

1. David Thewlis.
Also Steve Buscemi. I'm not sure if he counts. He might be rated and I just don't realize.

2. David Thewlis is one of our favorites!
Thanks for mentioning him. He's WONDERFUL as Lupin in the Harry Potter movies.



And Steve Buscemi isn't just a wonderful actor, he's a fantastic human being.
Did you know that he used to be a fireman in NYC? After 9-11, he went back to his old house to help out.

12. Patricia Clarkson trivia: Her mom is in a runoff race for N.O. City Council on Sat.
alas, mom Jackie is a prissy little pill who once campaigned against an openly gay opponent with the coded slogan, "Traditional Values Make the Difference". This from a registered Dem! I have never been able to fathom how the two of them could possibly be related. Either Patricia takes strongly after Dad, or she was left on the Clarkson's doorstep in a basket by someone who rang the doorbell and split.

You knew Patricia was a New Orleanian, of course, because you saw her delivering a couple of fabulously classy and sultry lines in those La. tourism authority spots, but I'll bet you didn't know that!

11. Good Choice....
He was in two of my favorite movies: Three Musketeers with Keifer Sutherland and Oliver Platt and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He's fantastic.

21. I don't really think of Ed Harris as underrated...
I do think he looks like an uncle of mine who died when I was a kid, though.
He's wonderful.
