Who is underrated in your opinion In an industry which has an "Awards Season" I find it hard to think of under-rated examples...There are certainly a lot of over-rated actors... Is it not just that some actors only get cast for very specific types of role ie Bonneville. Actors often complain of typecasting but it is often just that they are only really good in one sort of character or genre, or that is all the public wants to see them do? Of course some actors can break the mould by becoming rich enough to produce their own film, or someone gives them the opportunity... Robert De Niro was a good example where he was always cast as the gangster, tough guy and then decided he wanted to do a comedy so got Scorsese to make King of Comedy which wasn't even a comedy. He got closer to comedy with Midnight Run and then eventually did We're No Angels with Sean Penn and suddenly everyone was saying "He can do comedy!". Acclamation comes from breaking the typecast, is what I guess I'm saying... When an actor fails to break the typecasting but happily and competently sits within it, then I guess he can be called "underrated"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Leslie Neilson, started off in straight roles then became one of the great comedy actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Pretty sure op says 'in your opinion'. In my opinion, my 3 are underrated. Grant is the posh guy but he is better than just that, Waltz the wee Nazi in Inglorious Basterds and Kruger a stock actor where a foreign female required. They're both better than just that.

Im no so sure people are understanding the concept of " under rated" or maybe its a subjective thing ? id consider actors who are under rated are the ones who dont get leading roles or awards recognition ? However i dont really take much notice of whos won awards etc as that can just be a popularity contest . Earlier in the thread i said John Cusack was under rated as he fits my criteria of not getting the leading parts he cleary should have i feel.

Tazio Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Dennis Quaid. He seems to have spent most of his career making the wrong choices of films to be in.
