Actors who are too good and haven't caught the fame they deserve.
- Timothy Olyphant. "Deadwood" and "Justified" he's charismatic and a great actor. However, if you haven't seen those shows, you don't know his name. He was Agent 47 in Hitman and the villain in Die Hard 4. He came in 2nd to play Iron Man behind RDJ, that would have been his big break. I personally think he would have been a better Iron Man, tbh.
- Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He was brilliant as King Henry VIII in the Tudors and a great Dracula (even though the show was cancelled). You his his potential and you think how is he not famous?
Actors who are too famous and don't deserve the recognition...
Brie Larson. Talking cardboard cutout.
Amy Schumer. I'm fat, but I'm sort of pretty, I'm like the funny fat neighbor you like because of her sense or humor... We get it, you are the same lump in every film.

A lot of the big silent stars are unknown now. Eleanor Boardman, Thomas Meighan, Richard Barthelmess, lots of others. Even ones that people still have name recognition for, Louise Brookss, Clara Bow, Emil Jannings. The were the Daniel Day-Lewis' and Meryl Streeps of the day. The only silent stars most have heard of is Valentino and Garbo.

Michael Pitt should definitely be more famous. He was outstanding on Boardwalk Empire (my fav character on that show too). Also he was scary good in Funny Games. I'm puzzled as to why he doesn't get a lot of projects thrown his way . There were rumors online (take it with a grain of salt) that he was difficult to work on Boardwalk Empire so that's why they killed off his character in season 2 . Again, take it with a grain of salt but it could be a reason .
Another actor that should be more popular is Garrett Hedlund. I think he's a criminally underrated actor and was really good in On the Road & Mudbound. Also dug him in Friday Night Lights , Death Sentence & TRON Legacy . Speaking of TRON , it didn't make as much money as Disney had hoped for so there was no sequel to that. He has also had a string of bad luck over the years . He signed up to play Captain Hook in Joe Wright's Pan and that was a disaster lol.

Its almost criminal that he hasn't had a big film career. His work on Deadwood & Justified were aces ! Now regarding Jonathan Rhys Meyers , he is a colossal alcoholic and has been arrested for numerous things over the years (one time he was too drunk to fly at an airport and they arrested him on the spot) . I do agree he was quite good on Tudors but sadly he has so many demons that a lot of directors aren't going to risk working with him.

The only thing I disagree with is Casey Affleck. He's amazing in The Assassination of Jesse James and Manchester By the Sea. He's earned it. |

It seems like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are by far the most famous silent stars.
