Oh, my god! Gena Rowlands, definitely. She's a powerhouse, but she never really broke into the mainstream. I mean, I guess The Notebook gave her some much overdue exposure (and even in that lame-ass movie, she's brilliant. So is James Garner...), but even that movie she's only in for a small portion.
I'm actually not even familiar with Pellonpaa's work, so I'll have to take your word for him.
Stacy Keach is another, absolutely. He had a brief burst of leading man roles in the 70's and 80's; but yeah, he pretty much got pegged as a supporting actor after that, it seems like. Too bad, he's got one of the coolest voices on the planet.
Her performance in "A Woman Under The Influence" is probably the best I've seen.
Stacy Keach in "Fat City" is probably the most underrated performance I've seen and still one of the best.
Matti was in a lot of Kaurismaki's movies before dying at 45. Check out "Shadows In Paradise" (1986), it's a great movie.
