  • Kevin Corrigan has made a good career out of brief memorable (and often very funny) parts in movies I like.

    -M. Emmett Walsh (oops, I thought he died. Sorry!!!).
    -Mercedes Ruehl.
    -John Turturro.
    -Danny Aiello.
    -Bonnie Bedelia.
    -Frances McDormand.
    -Lynn Whitfield.
    -Giancarlo Esposito.
    -Clarence Williams III.
    -Philip Seymour Hoffman (nice to see dude gettin' a lil' shine now, though).

    Peace,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    For years I talked about how underrated Jeff Bridges is but his choices in the last 5 have really slowed my roll on his bandwagon. Doo Doo Central. Jeffrey is maybe my favorite actor, who's good even in crappy movies the way Deniro used to be (check Ron Howard's Backdraft for evidence). But is he underrated? Maybe under utilized but dude gets as much props for his chops as anybody.

  • Wow.
    I was just gonna say Luiz.
    Dude makes me laugh all the time.


    underrated though? I'd say he's damn hear overexposed.

    Luiz belongs in an underrated thread from 1998 maybe. why don't we just throw in Don Cheadle while we're at it.

  • Everyone needs to bow down at the Altar of the Schiff.

    Richard Schiff, that is.

    I'm underrated.

  • John Cazale was the first name to pop in my head as well, Godfather 2 is the greatest movie ever and he's a big reason why.

    Oh the new one called Sunshine? I heard about this - heard it was on some 2001 shit sorta.....obviously no where even in the same realm of good - but on the same shit. How was it?

  • WoimsahWoimsah 1,734 Posts

    Don't never mess with another man's fries.

  • I nominate Guillermo Diaz.



    He killed it in this one Law and Order episode. He really got to my man Lenny Briscoe. He does a lot of TV work.

    Also: Isaac Hayes. Underrated as a performer in films.

    Bill Mosley and Sid Haig on the horror tip.

    Ashley Judd fans, you need to peep that HBO movie w/ her and Luke Perry if you haven't.

    Nah...it's all about the "imitate a cat puking" scene in Party Girl. Genius!

    Can an Academy Award-winning actress be considered "underrated"?



    Similarly, probably not what you'd call underrated, but I feel I ought to represent for the Brits a little bit.
