Where my man Aaron Paul at tho?
Nathan Fillion uncharted movie nuff said.
Jon Bernthal, Joakim Phoenix and David Tennant are missing but overall good list
TOM HARDY is underrated
I feel like Ben Foster has a more earned place on this list than Nathan Fillion. But that's just me
Why not mention Urban's role in Lord of the Rings?
Fichtner is there, good, still i'd have liked to see actors like Brad Dourif and Lee Pace …..
Tom Hardy is also underrated.
Jude Law is definitely underrated! Loved him in Gatacca and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil!
Where's Lee Pace?
Eric Bana is the only actor to play the modern Hulk that actually acted.
Orlando Bloom, Idris Elba, Lee Pace, Joaquim Phoenix, Cilian Murphy… anyone else?
No love for Tim Robbins or Paul Giamatti?
I was thinking of how to word my annoyed comment all through the honorable mentions if Sam Rockwell wasn't # 1…… Nice Surprise Watch Mojo!
I cant believe Gary Oldman is not on this list. Considering his consistency to produce an A lister performance.
Jensen ackles should be in this list… or anyone from supernatural because honestly, I think most of the actors on that show are underrated
Noone even know about andy surkis because he always act behind the green screen he deserves better
Barely on #8 right now and they called Clay Morrow a biker with a heart of gold? Have they seen SoA?
The most underrated actor is guy Pearce
Where is it you think Paul Bettany is from? You have one job
In Bruges was Colin Farrell's greatest performance!
Pleasantly surprised to see Nathan Fillion here, I think he is a great actor, just didn't know so many others agreed!
Sam Rockwell is the fucking man
nathan fillion- nathan drake, plsss..
First of all, THE LAST THING Ron Pearlman's heart is made of in SOA is gold. Clay was the biggest piece of self preserving shit, EVER!
Get your shit straight Watch Mojo peeps.
Then we have James McAvoy, I Love Him! He had me at Atonement.
Oh, yes, and before Firefly, Nathan Fillion hopped on Joss Whedon's radar as one of the 'Big Bads' Caleb, in the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Speaking of, you forgot James Marsters and Marc Blucas and Julian McMahon.
I do agree with the rest.
Nathan Fillion is really cool♡
James Mcavoy is one of the best actors ever♡
Nathan Fillion Should play Nathan Drake the face matches even the name
Garry Oldman should be on the list. Only 1 oscar nomination
Matt Bomer should be on here. That man is incredible
guy pearce
Andy Serkis should've been number one for all the work he's done. People know him even if they don't know it's him. Dude is owed at least a pair of Oscars at this point.
Under rated? And you start with Karl Urban? And don't even mention Doom or Judge Dredd? These videos just keep getting worse. And that's not even mentioning the terrible enunciation from the narrator in most if not all videos. Learn english and stop sounding out words from the paper. Last mojo video i watch, been disappointed a few times today.
Overrated Actors:
Arnold Schwartzniggawhateverthefuck
Vin Diesel
Sylvestor Stallone
Adam Sandler
Tom Cruise
etc.
am I the only one who thinks that peter sarsgaard looks like chris jericho??
ohhhh James Mcavoy… he's brillant and very sexy ❤
can't agree more with this..absolutely underrated 5star talents.
Harvey Keitel, Bruce Dern, Ray Liotta, Montgomery Clift, Paul Muni, Herbert Marshall, Zachary Quinto, Jack Lord, Sterling Hayden, Joseph Cotten, Ray Milland, Benicio Del Toro, Steve Bucsemi.
Michael Rooker?
McAvoy did very well in The Atonement
The fact the Mads Mikkelsen wasn't on this list proves he's underrated.
paul dano is so so so underrated
Ron Pearlman's SoA character was a bikie with a heart of gold? Have you even seen SoA bahaha
Steven Yeun is criminally underrated. Sure he's only had one huge role on a TV show but they didn't care much about him and payed much more attention to the other characters/actors (Norman Reedus especially) and he hasn't had much after that besides Voltron and a few indie movies but he's an incredible performer and deserves so much more recognition and acting opportunities than he currently has.
