I've been watching Hell on Wheels, and am waiting for the next season to start. Am struck at the sheer talent of Christopher Heyerdahl (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0382216/) that I thought about making a thread just about him. Actually noticed him in a children's show as Fear, which he played disturbingly well. The included clip is just one facet of Heyerdahl's "The Swede".

I'm opening this up for other lesser known actors who have serious chops. We can also consider women with mentionable breasts, as not to exclude them on lack of other merits.

Catch a glimpse of Fear...

Superstars don't belong in this thread. I'm looking for under-recognized talent. Or GREAT breasts.

I've always admired E.G. Marshall. Very charismatic, intelligent and able to express emotion.

Yeah, but since he died in 1998, he isn't producing a whole lot of new content. :no:

You did not specify living or dead, spastic! :blink:

Unlike yourself I actually know the work of E.G. Marshall and imposing,formidable and maybe commanding spring to mind but charismatic,not so much. :mellow:

In your thread opening post you left the question open as to what actors that are not superstars deserve to be recognised more. You did not specify whether they were living or dead, just the contribution they had made.
The first actor I thought of when I read this was J. T. Walsh, also deceased, so if you are going to correct others when you left the statement open then you are a spastic, spastic.

I found him truly memorable and frightening in Breakdown (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118771/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7), so I will allow the entry. :snooty:

By all means post old dead people or rising stars. Had you posted an oldie, I would not have criticized it. Dion isn't known for putting thought into his posts- perhaps I used the wrong form of slap, which I agree is counter-productive to the nature of the thread, and instead should have simply told him to suck a dick. :)

Are Sam Rockwell,Casey Affleck or James McAvoy lesser known?If so then them.If not then bystander #2 in that movie about something or other was pretty fucking brilliant.

I would have put Mads Mikelsen but he unfairly got a black mark for being the worst Bond villain ever because clearly what makes a great Bond villain is a lot of internalizing.:mellow:

Just saw McAvoy in Penelope (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472160/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_20), which I found enjoyable. Also some semi-recognizable dwarf in it, as well.

Casey is the more talented Affleck, IMO.

Mads can never be over-rated. :no:

Paddy Considine was amazing in Dead Man's Shoes; I was surprised I hadn't seen him more.

Mads was great in The Hunt.
