Some of the Most Underrated Actors

I get genuinely frustrated when I watch movies with truly talented actors, and realize that their talent goes unnoticed time and time again.  This being said, I kind of wanted to make a list of all of the actors that I believe to be truly masterly when it comes to their ability to portray a character. Listed in no particular order:

1.  Guy Pearce
2.  J.T. Walsh
3.  Danny Trejo
4.  Michael Jeter
5.  Michael Clarke Duncan
6.  Tommy Lee Jones
7.  Tim Curry
8.  Samuel L. Jackson (some people see Samuel L to be overrated, but seriously, he's a badass mofo and hasn't won a single Oscar.  Plus he and Steve Buscemi are in like EVERYTHING).
9.  Ray Liotta
10.  John C. Reilly
11.  James Cromwell
12.  Peter Postlethwaite
13.  Joaquin Phoenix (seriously he's been nominated for three Oscars and still hasn't won anything WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD)
14. Sam Neill
15.  Steve Buscemi
16. Tom Hulce
17.  Seth MacFarlane
18.  Patrick Wilson
19.  Joshua Jackson
20.  Paul Bettany

Bonus Round:  Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jesse Eisenberg, Don Cheadle, Emile Hirsch, 

And to think that people like Nicholas Cage and Tom Cruise and Rob Pattinson and Charlie Sheen and Dwayne Johnson (the list goes on) get more recognition than these guys -_-
