Who, in your opinion is a great actor or actress that isn`t as famous as their talent suggests they should be? If you look at A-List hollywood, there are some really great actors in there (Nicholson, Freeman, Spacey) but also some real crap. Affleck, Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz spring to mind as people who get fame and fortune but are really poor actors. So who have you seen, in a low budget film or TV series that you feel deserves to be recognised as one of the great actors of their generation? Damian Lewis. - www.imdb.com/name/nm0507073/If you`ve seen Band of Brothers you`ll know what I mean. The guy was superb start to finish. He also played a similar role in a British TV mini series called Warriors (Peacekeepers in the US) which was where I first saw him. I`m glad to see he`s busy according to his IMDB profile. I see a bright future ahead. Who gets your vote? |

The guy can pull off comedy (Better Off Dead, Being John Malkovich), action films (Con Air), and drama (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, The Grifters). Johnny Depp also comes to mind, even though it took the Academy nearly 15 years to realize it. |

Micheal Biehn a.k.a Kyle Reese from the 1st Terminator movie. I read that he liked playing secondary characters but It woulda been cool if he coulda survived one action movie.

But he won an Oscar for The Pianist! ------------------------------------------------ David Tennant or Bill Nighy (I know he is in alot of big movies at the moment, but I don't think he is A-list) spring to mind as good actors. I may aswell mention Bruce Campbell the B-Movie King. |

Would you seriously say that the mighty Adrian Brody is A-List? Does he get a lot of ink in gossip mags? Do you know what he's up to right now, via the entertainment news?

Samantha Morton: Great actress but she's not in the papers all the time.

Paul Giamatti. He still has problems getting recognized in Hollywood.

You know, a little about these actors wouldn`t go amiss. What they are good in for a start.

 Peter Sarsgaard is getting a little more press now that he is with Maggie Gyllenhaal and they are expecting, but I actually look for his movies and most of my friends need 5 full minutes to place him. This pic is from Shattered Glass, the Stephen Glass expose where Sarsgaard plays the New Republic editor who gets screwed by Glass but then does the right thing--awesome movie. |
