He has turned into a helluva director, but Affleck as rarely impressed me as an actor. I did think he was good in CHANGING LANES and I do think he should have received an Oscar nomination for HOLLYWOODLAND, but other than that...
Overrated Actors/ Underrated Actors
I think Nicolas Cage is overrated, although he might have had a few good movies. Underrated: Edward Norton. He makes great choices in what he plays and had a couple of jewels (American History X, 25th hour, more?)

People won't like this, but i've always been underwhelmed by Al Pacino. I don't quite get why people rate him so highly. Perhaps i haven't seen enough of his films.
Underrated, Pete Postlethwaite.
And i'd also say Robert Duval, although he's rated highly by quite a few, i still dont think he gets the recognition he deserves.

^Yeah, it all depends which films of his you watch. I was hooked after watching Scarface. What a performance...

I like Anjelica Huston, she always has a mysterious presence which she brings to her roles I especially liked her characters in Addams Family and Witches. I'd say she was more underrated as she hasn't done as many big films as she could have

He hooked me with DOG DAY AFTERNOON...I'm one of few who believe he should have won the Oscar for that over Nicholson.

I don't agree with you on that. Ben Afleck was awesome in "Phantoms"
We all know who the most underrated actor is:
Bruce Campbell baby! He's your regular chick-magnet
he's an aging Elvis
hell he even kicks some zombie ass
You just can't get any cooler than that.

Wesley Snipes is underrated, he's an actual fighter that can act and had some diverse roles, would still be getting good roles if he had a better attitude from what I've read, Love these films -

I think Snipes is underrated too...did you ever see the HBO TV he did with Sanaa Lathan called DISAPPEARING ACTS?

Might have to watch that as I do like Sanaa Lathan although reading up on it, it reminds me of One night Stand with Wesley Snipes which I also enjoyed.

Don't know if there's another one floating around now, but I'm resurrecting this thread to add one to the list
Maisie Williams
Outside of Game Of Thrones, none of the roles she's been in have been that interesting. I think she's a one-note actress who hasn't done any other role that makes her versatile as an actress. It'll be interesting to see where she goes when Thrones ends.

Yea snipes has a lot of charisma. I don’t think he could have made the blade character any cooler. Perfect casting that.

Benicio Del Toro
UNDERRATED !
UNDERRATED !
Dr. Gonzo (Fear & Loathng in Las Vegas), Fenster (The Usual Suspects), Benny Dalmau (Basquiat), Vincent Roche (Excess Baggage) , Jackie Boy (Sin City) - the list of memorable characters Del Toro has portrayed is endless. The man never fails to spark a little life into a flick every time he steps in front of the camera. He's one of my favorite actors and I hope that in time, he will gain the recognition and notoriety he deserves.
