This is a confusing one, Guy Pearce is huge. Or maybe I just see more news about him being in Australia?

Speaking of Guy Pearce, he is excellent in Mare of Easttown. Also, he looks like Brad Pitt.

I also thought Jason Lee deserved way more movies but he did get his own TV show that was pretty awesome so I guess he just goes in the under appreciated category for me.

There was a point where he was accepting just about any role put in front of him, which is why he was in stuff like "A Talking Cat." A couple friends of mine who work on low budget film projects nearly landed him for a role in something (fell through on their end.)

Let's not forget getting left at the altar in that Mariah Carey video.

And speaking of that same video, Wentworth Miller is another name that kinda went nowhere after he was the main character in Prison Break.
