Your top 10 favorite non-household name actors?
I'm just curious on what everyone's favorite "non-household" name actors are. When I say "non-household", these are actors/actresses who are not quite yet in the "big name". Please pick your favorite actors who aren't popular and not well known. Name 10 of them if you could please.
My favorites in no order:
Alan Cumming
Sydney Pollack
Bruce Campbell
Gary Sinise
Steve Buscemi
James Cromwell
Louis Guzman
Peter Coyote
David Morse
Naomi Watts
(now to pick a female this time, Watts is not yet a big name star but she's on her way up there though)
Name your choices.

LBPound, no ALF?
While maybe not household names, I think 90% of the actors listed so far definitely have household face recognition. For the most part they've been in many large movies or TV series as main supporting characters. I'll take it to mean 'No big name stars.' Here's my list, in no particular order:
Peter Stormare
Steve Buscemi (photo already posted)
Joe Pantoliano (photo already posted)
Richard E. Grant (no photo available)
Don Cheadle (photo already posted)
Brion James
James Hong
Udo Kier
8 will have to do!
