Really? She's an amazing actress. I mean "I Am Sam", "War of the Worlds", "Man on Fire", "Hide and Seek" she's been damn impressive. Better than most actors in Hollywood, not just people her age.

QFT, she's just naturally annoying to me, the only movie I could bare her being in was War of the Worlds.

brad pitt... hear me out. i know he's well-known as hell, but i don't think that he's well-known for his acting ability.

Good list, but WTF... Brad Pitt is not well-known for his acting ability? What is he well known for... just his looks? I think he's a damn good actor and certainly not underrated.

I'd have to say Chris Cooper is one of the best underrated actors I've ever seen.

That's correct, brad pitt is not generally regarded for his acting ability, although he was nominated for an oscar I believe.

Chris Cooper is no longer underrated though. Won an oscar and all.


No, everytime I see people talk about Brad Pitt it's been about his acting and how good it is, not how hot he is. He hasn't been just the pretty boy in 15 years. Watch movies like Snatch and Twelve Monkeys where he played a generally digusting character and people still thought he was amazing.

basically, if there needs to be a drug-addict role, give it to Jared Leto.

30STM = FLIPPIN' AWESOME.

I was talking with a record rep. from Virgin and he was saying that Jared turned down roles in like, 3 major movies (I forget which ones) because of his commitment to his band. He won't sign things from his acting career at their shows. He's pretty cool to talk to... seems to remember people he's met.

yep, 30 Seconds to Mars is comin back to Toledo next month (I think), after already being here in September. I missed them that time, refuse to miss them this time. Too awesome to pass up.

yeah, i know pitt is popular as hell, but i think it's mainly because of his looks. most people wouldn't consider him to be that great of an actor... just another pretty face on the front of people magazine.

where do you live where people actually talk about brad pitt's acting ability? it's ALWAYS been about how hot he is.

I'll 2nd Mark Whalberg. I thought he was fairly convincing, didn't seem like he was "acting", in The Italian Job, which I saw recently. Amy Poehler is good too (from SNL), as is Chris Parnell I think. And the lead from 40-year-old-virgin, he's good too. I presume these all would fall under "underrated", except maybe the last guy.

i'd have to see steve carell and chris parnell in different kinds of roles before i could say they were underrated

That dude that played the kid in terminator 2 was great. He also did an amazing performance in American History X. Too bad he's turned into a druggie moron now.

actually, I just posted that because I like him

pretty much the same reason others are posting actors as well. This thread should be titled "Actors that are my favorite that I think only I know about"
