Which actors/actresses do you think are highly under-rated and don't get the recognition they deserve?
I think Chris Noth is sadly overlooked. He's so talented.

I drive down the street in a Rolls Royce car. Use hundred dollar bills when I light my cigar.
Underrated- Vincent D'Onfrio from Law and Order: Criminal Intent
Overrated- Recent roles from Al Pacino, Robert Deniro
I can't think right now of any underrated ones, but boy can I think of a bevy of overrated ones, lol.
This is a good topic though.![]()
I live in my own world. But it's ok, they know me there.
Kid Nation... a sad day for society when the exploitation of children becomes acceptable entertainment for television viewers.![]()

No kidding! Julia Roberts is way overrated.Originally Posted by Nemeses
Maybe we should make a thread for overrated actors too.
Gary Sinise ~ underrated. I'd like to see more of him.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
Hmmm... mix the under and over in the same thread?
Underrated: Ed Harris (he can never be out there enough for me. He's fascinating.)
Overrated: Gwyneth Paltrow.. I've never liked her.. blech.
Claire Danes ~ underrated. I thought we'd be seeing lots of her after "My So-Called Life"
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
Topher Grace (That '70's Show and the movie 'Traffic') should be the biggest young star.
Gwenneth Paltrow defines overrated. She is the apex of fame > quality work. I don't even understand how its possible.
Cool, can mix the overrated with the underrated.![]()

Tommy Lee Jones
Ed Harris (I agree, Broadway)
Morgan Freeman

I agree with Chris Noth (just watched "Exiled: A Law and Order Movie" and realized how much I loved him as Mike Logan on L&O), Gary Sinise and Ed Harris. All excellent actors.
My others would be Anthony LaPaglia and Jason Wiles (who is awesome on Third Watch). I also have a thing for Eric Close from Without a Trace, but I think it's currently a crush (shhh don't tell my husband).
As for underrated shows, I'd have to say Third Watch - it never gets recognized by the critics and keeps me fascinated every season.
