Re: Underrated Performers
I'd like to put in a good word for two film actors: 1) Peter Sarsgaard -he was in Boys Don't Cry and Jarhead, and I don't believe he has ever given a poor performance, he doesn't usually play the lead role, but is one of those actors who makes a film work by giving it depth. If I saw that he was in a new film, I would go and see it because of him; 2) Ann Heche is another underrated performer, she has matured as the years have gone on and was outstanding in the film Birth where she outplayed Nicole Kidman just by blinking. If I see she is in a film I am keen to see it.

Re: Underrated Performers
You're right as Peter Sarsgaard. Jarhead was an underrated film in itself. Haven't seen An Heche. On the film front I have a probe with the notion of underrated. For me the best films almost always do little at the box office, but are sometimes given critical acclaim.
So what is the measure of underrated exactly?

Re: Underrated Performers
Underrated in film is a difficult one -its the question about 'supporting roles' where there are times when the supporting roles are doing better than the lead -Anne Heche being an example in the film Birth. I think some of the best films have that status precisely because the 'supporting roles' are played as well as the leads -for some reason I am thinking of Casablanca and The Big Sleep -two of Bogart's finest films, but there isn't a duff performance by any of the supports and that gives the films breadth and depth. So its about giving more limelight and recognition to 'supporting roles', because it is the performances of the leads that is rated higher than the supports when it comes to judging the film; and this may not be fair to the Heche's and Sarsgaards of this industry.
