Poll question: who is the most underrated actor in hollywood?
i think edward norton still isn't getting the attention he deserves. He was awesome in american history x, fight club, etc.

2. WOW
I read your subject and said ED NORTON before clicking on your post. I still can't believe he lost the Oscar to that crappy actor Cuba Gooding.

8. DAMN! You read my mind! Gary Sinise is so underrated it's tragic
I have no idea who these other dudes are but then, I'm not let out of my cage much.

4. Jim Cavezial's a great actor but I can't over him being in that
Mel Gibson Jesus tripe. Plus, I heard he's campaigning for * now, based on his popularity with fundies because he...played Jesus in a movie. :eyes:

Not an ounce of sexy in his body, but he can act circles around most men!

23. Without a doubt, it's David Paymer:
The fact that you've never heard of him proves my point. But he's one of those regular fixtures like M. Emmett Walsh or G.D. Spadlin wo considtently play supporting cast in huge pictures.

See his performance opposite William H. Macy in "Focus" if you doubt me.

Paymer's body of work:
