He was great as Dr. Emilio Lizardo / Lord John Whorfin in Buckaroo Banzai..

Bruce Campbell. I can't exactly bring myself to consider him a "lesser" actor, but I just wish I would see him in more movies.

I think he likes it that way. He's got bit parts in a bunch of Coen Bros. and the later Sam Raimi stuff.

Really? He plays the exact same guy in every movie.

I don't remember seeing Bruce Campbell in a single Coen Bros flick...I've seen the all, though spotty memory of a few of them (Hudsucker, Intolerable Cruelty, etc)

He's currently in Burn Notice on the USA network. fairly good show.

he and jeffrey donovan do a great job on that show. one of the 3 shows ill actually stay home and watch.

Gary Oldman is amazing. He's been in some bigger movies, but rarely gets the credit he deserves. His versatility is fantastic.

This.

Also, Sarah Polley, Tim Roth (though I hear he may have a TV show now??). Ben Foster was very good in 3:10 to Yuma and was decently creepy in 30 Days of Night, so maybe him. Hmm, I can't think of many others right now.

Ben Foster was awesome in Alpha Dog as well... Almost made the movie watchable heh..

Tim Roth's TV show is called "Lie to Me" Great show getting ready to start it's 2nd season. If you decide to check it out, try and start with the first season.. Its pilot, and first couple episodes do a great job explaining the science behind what they are doing.

Cool, I'll have to check it out. I've always loved his work.
