Joan Cusack.
This woman is the funniest comedic actress! I'm tired of seeing her as "the quirky friend" in movies. She needs to be te headliner in a movie.
Loved her in My Bodyguard, Sixteen Candles, any and all other appearances in various John Hughes teenage 1980's movies, Working Girl, Say Anything, My Blue Heaven, In and Out...the list goes on and on.

Hilary Swank.
Just kidding. Sort of. I mean, she has those two Oscars, but she's had what...two big movies? She should have projects lined up for her everywhere.

Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:05amI love Joan Cusack too--I think she should have won for Working Girl instead of Geena Davis. She seems to steal almost every movie she makes.

What about JOHN Cusack? Especially in Malkovich.
#9re: Underrated actor/actress
Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:13amWell, I love him as well, but he doesn't seem as ignored and underappreciated as Joan, so I left him out.

Lauren Graham
Alison Lohman. You know that new movie coming out with Keira Knightley? The one about her being like a bounty hunter. Why Alison doesnt have that one is beyond me. She would rock that role.
Kate Winslet. She really is. Jennifer Connolley too. I mean yes I know they both have had multiple oscar nominations, a win for Jennifer, etc but you'd be surprised how many people don't know who they are.
I second Evan Rachel Wood
DON CHEADLE. Don't even tell me "Well he got an Oscar nomination". The man is brilliant and deserves more.

Julia Ormond - she deserve bigger roles.
I agree with Cheadle, he should've won the Oscar.

I'm with Sally and Forester. Don Cheadle has received some acclaim, but not the acclaim he deserves as the finest working actor in Hollywood right now. He is brilliant.
On a lesser scale, I think some of the "Mad TV" regulars deserve the film deals that many of the SNL regulars have had thrown their way. Granted the films are usually dreck, but there are some talented folks on that show.

Posted: 9/11/05 at 2:56pmOkay, so maybe this isn't movies/T.V., but I'd say Christian Borle. He has a wonderful voice and is SO hilarious, not to mention he was completely robbed of a Tony nomination.
What the puck?!

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
