[Keebler884]

Edward Norton

 

[impy13]

Paul Giamatti

Exactly what I was going to put when I saw the thread title. He's one of my favorite actors.

would edward norton be classified as underrated?

in that case, I'll like to add
Benicio del Toro
Christian Bale

Tim Roth

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Alexis Denisof

God, as if we needed more proof that David Boreanaz can't act, right?

 

[hippy]

Christian Bale
John Cusack
Tim Roth

I would call these guys "underused" actors... they don't show up with big parts in films nearly enough!

I loved him as Josh in Clueless

but,
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers

Loved loved loved him in Bend it like Beckham and as Elvis in the miniseries for CBS
