Fun thread. I think I agree with the person who said Leo.

 

[donaldduck352]

I'll 2'nd Gary Sinise.

 

[Planogirl]

I agree with Aaron Eckhart. I think that he's great.

I'll add James Franco.

 

[MinnieMe87]

Casey Affleck

I agree.

 

[ilovepcot]

I agree with Parker Posey and James Wood.

Another that is *great* in my opinion, is Whoopi Goldberg. Just check her out in The Color Purple. Outstanding!!!

 

[kimblebee]

I agree with the PP who said William H. Macy. He is really good in Cell Phone.

 

[HOGFAN]

agree with:

Bruce Greenwood (loved him on St. Elsewhere)

Whoopi Goldberg

and add:

Ashley Judd

Johnny Depp - We just watched Benny and Joon, in which he was great. Also Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Chocolat and a few others. He struck gold with Pirates of the Caribbean, but I think his body of work is underappreciated.

Jamie Foxx - Ray and The Soloist. I'm expecting more great things from him.

Both of these actors have been nominated MANY times and I wouldn't consider them at all underappreciated. Jamie has an OSCAR and Johnny's been nominated several times for the Oscar and the Golden Globe. He was a major star in my heart and before Pirates was made!

Underappreciated actors... wow, there are too many to name. I personally adore Giancarlo Esposito and Obba Babatunde.

Oh yeah and HIM ....

Jack Klugman...Check out his work on several episodes of the original Twilight Zone series. Wow, just *wow*. If you've only ever seen him on the Odd Couple TV series or maybe Quincy, MD...his range of work on the Twilight Zone is astounding. he did some amazing stuff, but his problem was he made it look 'easy', like Gary Cooper or John Wayne.

And I told his son so, too.

agnes!
