I suppose I'll add in Glenn Close, just because I find it shocking that she hasn't won an Oscar yet. Especially for Dangerous Liasons... Jodie Foster stole that one from her. Actually, Glenn Close in Dangerous Liasons might be my favorite performance by an actress ever, period. At least I can't think of a better one off the top of my head.

These two scenes will show you why, the second especially. (The movie is streaming on Netflix, btw, I highly recommend it)

He's in a bear suit and punches a woman. I fail to see how you don't recognize the greatness of that.

Overrated for being underrated: Willem Defoe. Underrated, but is usually one of the firsts mentioned in these conversations. I think William H. Macy is pretty underrated too.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Jesus people, underrated...not overrated, ******, typecast or so "out there" you want to kill yourself because they're in yet again another movie.

Christoph Waltz

I don't agree with this just because I feel CDub gets all the credit he deserves. He is a phenomenal actor, but I wouldn't consider him underrated.

I am on the Paul Giamatti bandwagon. That guy is underrated.
