Devon: Underrated Actors
September 26th, 2007
To follow up on Jen’s blog, I too am a fan of Wes Anderson. A Huge fan, in fact, huge may be a bit of an understatement. I own every Criterion collection dvd and cassette pertaining to his works. Whenever I watch one of his movies, I’m always shocked at how few movies Jason Schwartzman seems to be in, given his obviously advanced level of acting. That led me to think about all the other underrated actors out there, who, for whatever reason, have been shunned by the box office. Here’s my un-official list.
1. Christian Bale - unbelievable talent, fantastic choice in roles, strangely escapes most people (unless of course you count Batman Begins fans, of which I am one.)
Best Role: Patrick Bateman (American Psyco)
2. Chris Bridges aka Ludacris - did you see Crash? Not the best movie, but you can’t deny his talent.
3. Jared Leto - yes he may seem like a smarmy bastard (and may in fact be a smarmy bastard) but given his list of film choices, you have to respect the guy. He’s passed up fantastic roles for his band, which, in retrospect, may or may have not been the best idea - but he only does the roles he wants to do and does a great job doing them.
4. Cate Blanchett - have you seen the trailer for the upcomming Dylan biopic? “Holy shit”. That’s all I have to say.
Be safe

I completely agree about Cate Blanchett. Actually, I haven’t even heard of her Bob Dylan movie before today. However, seeing the trailers for the new Elizabeth movie sends me chills. I can just tell that this movie will be a successful one! Her beauty is… an acquired taste but made obvious through her talent.
Have you seen The Pursuit of Happyness? Don’t tell me that you weren’t in awe of Smith’s acting! Oh the bathroom scene broke my heart… Will Smith has my complete respect & admiration because of his ability to evolve and to let go of his Fresh Prince role.

good choice on the actors/actresses. I would add Jennifer Jason Leigh to the list. She was absolutely magnificant in Margot At The Wedding and Short Cuts. Both films are top-notch..
