Top 10 Actors I'd Like to See More Of

I have always had a soft spot for underrated and underused actors and actresses. They always give in the more niche and great performances. The real memorable kind. They are the talent that come out of no where and surprise everyone with their abilities, but not me, because I have enjoyed them for so long.



10. Luke Wilson
; the better half but less seen Wilson brother (not counting Andrew)
See Him In: Old School
Upcoming: Middle Men
What Should He Do Next: Quirky but heavy indie dramedy, something by Michel Gondry or Spike Jonze


9. Craig Robinson; best new thing in comedy
See Him In: "The Office", Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Upcoming: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
What Should He Do Next: Try writing his own flick against the grain of the usual "Barbershop" comedy


8. Thomas Haden Church, underrated dramedy actor
See Him In: "Wings", Sideways
Upcoming: Don McKay
What Should He Do Next: Another dramedy or perhaps a more sinister villain role


7. Rashida Jones; cutest thing to happen to comedy
See Her In: I Love You, Man
Upcoming: more "Parks and Recreation"
What Should She Do Next: An Apatow directed female lead


6. Luke Goss; English tough guy
See Him In: Charlie, Hellboy 2: the Golden Army
Upcoming: El Dorado, Tekken
What Should He Do Next: Namor the Submariner


5. Ben Foster; probably the youngest chameleon performer out there
See Him In: Alpha Dog, 3:10 to Yuma
Upcoming: Pandorum
What Should He Do Next: Bullseye in a Daredevil reboot, followed by a more heroic role


4. Nathan Fillion; underrated hero actor
See Him In: "Firefly", Serenity, Slither
Upcoming: more "Castle"
What Should He Do Next: Something heroic, an Indiana Jones/Dirk Pitt type adventurer


3. Kenny Johnson; cop show verteran
See Him In: "The Shield"
Upcoming: more "Saving Grace"'
What Should He Do Next: Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman movie if it ever happens


2. Olivia Thirlby; young up and comer
See Her In: Snow Angels, Wackness, Juno
Upcoming: New York, I Love You, Safety Glass
What Should She Do Next: Anything that is not a teen sex comedy or child-being-creepy thriller


1. Sam Rockwell, most underrated Hollywood resource
See Him In: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Upcoming: Moon, Iron Man
What Should He Do Next: Indie dramas and comedies, show off his talent, nab an Oscar nom and eventually a win
