Howdy,
Put in your 2 cents for overlooked actors and actresses.

My vote goes to Don Cheadle. You've seen him in a number of supporting roles in films such as:

Swordfish
Traffic
The Family Man
Rush Hour 2
Bullworth
Boogie Nights
Et al

Take it easy,

Jonny Depp = Best out/type-casted actor. He's by far one of the best actors ever, but his image is too controvercial for formal recognition.

Personally, and i KNOW i am going to get flamed for this, but Ben Affleck is a really good actor. Most just see him as 'pretty' and that is the only reason he is in so many movies, but he is a really good actor with a wide range.

Don't forget his role in Ocean's Eleven.

He is a very good actor.

You should start a thread about Overrated Actors & Actresses too. :)

Johnny Depp (he's awesome)
Brad Pitt (excellent actor but sometimes that's overshadowed by his stereotype of being only a guy for girls to fawn over)
Jude Law (thankfully he's starting to get some more recognition)

completely agree with all three.

another, Naomi Watts. The two characters she played in Mulholland Dr. showed how big of a range she has...it was hard to believe they were the same actress.

The only movies I can stand him in are:

12 Monkeys
Snatch
Ocean's 11 was ok.

Sean Penn (really damn good in I am Sam)
Jennifer Esposito (to many B flicks for her, she deserves better)
Jason Behr (Spacey sidekick on Shipping News, also Roswell) and pretty good young actor, quite a dynamic range.
Jude Law

Snatch is a great movie and Pitt is very good in it. I couldn't understand most of what he said. :)

Have you seen 12 Monkeys? He plays one of the best psycho's I've ever seen. ;)


I'm yet to meet a woman that enjoyed that movie.

My wife is very atypical in her movie views as compared to the normal woman.
