That little cat that specializes in jumping out of things to scare the audience (brilliant work!)

gary sinise... good in appolo 13, great in forrest gump and awesome in ransom... :)

Billy Crudup - He looks different in each film that he does and his roles are so varied. Great performances in "Waking the Dead" and "Almost Famous".

Another nod for Gary Sinise.

crispin glover - he's just so lovably MESSED UP.

madonna. you know, i think she has all the talent to be a great actress, but not as a lead - which we all know isn't gonna happen.

Michael Biehn
Joh Turturro

I think Gary Sinise is a great actor. For me though, it was Truman that was the clincher. I thought he did a phenomenal job. Make-up was damn good too.

Donald Sutherland

Let me add:

Julia Roberts
Gwynneth Paltrow
Helen Hunt

;)

OK, I guess my definition of underrated is different that everyone else ;) Most if not all of the people mentioned here usually receive praise for their work. Some even either get nominated or win awards for their performances. Are we talking in terms of ratings and box-office? Or should be more popular (with regular joes like you and me)?

Definately Christian Bale :up:

Sean Bean

John C Reily (Spelling?)

Phillip Seymor Hoffman. Without a doubt.

Oh, and Owen Wilson.

:eek:

Should be more popular.

Sam Elliot :up:

and Joss Ackland :up: He usually plays Government Hardasses. Lately he's been doing a lot of Russian roles. I love his rich deep voice. It's full of class.

2nd Gary Sinise

2nd Angela Bassett

adding
Derek Luke (only due to him being new to the biz, i think he might take the torch as the best black actor (who can do roles other than comedy and action) when Denzel Washington is retired.)

Keifer Sutherland (Despite having some good roles (24, Equill.) has been rumored and then overlooked for too many starring gigs he couldve done solidly)

Delroy Lindo (excellent in Crooklyn and X, strong in Gone in 60 seconds)

Jaquin Phoenix (has been in a ton of movies but deserves more starring roles)

Vin Grhames (huge fan, great style,deservant of starring gigs)

Dennis Quaid (gets respect, but not as much as deserved, excellent pure actor)

Tony Shaloub is the only one that comes to mind. Though he is nominated for an emmy.
I think Kiefer Sutherland was underrated before 24, and in a way i think he still is.
I also second John C. McGinley, he was just awesome in "Intensity"(probably the best and some would say only decent Dean Koontz adaption).
Jeffery Combs, probably one of the best actors who has been in some of historys worst films. I think he is kinda stuck in Bmovie hell(don't get me wrong i love bflicks), he is such a great actor, and his past in the theater really comes through in so many of his roles.

I really liked Keifer in the dark scientist role in dark city

My wife just tivo'd a film of his called "After Alice", which the dvd goes by another name(eyes of a killer, maybe). It somewhat of a predictable movie but he does very well in it. Toward the end he seems very much like his Jack character from 24, which the film predates 24 by a few years.

and who knew he had such a wonderful singing voice?

Peter Stormare is awesome! :up:
