Underrated character actor


Actors like Mr. Stormare and Vincent D'onofrio seem to get fewer and fewer roles, despite being such high calibre and versatile actors. I look out for programmes or films with both these actors.

Does anyone else agree?

reply

Totally agree, for me he made the first series of Prison Break

Peter Stormare is brilliant he plays very scary bad guys. Be nice to see him in a James Bond film.

reply

And why has he only won 2 awards over all those years? That is weird.

reply

I used to love his Volkswagen commercials. He's funny as hell.

I agree, Peter Stormare is amazing in everything.

reply

I think he's rated just fine. A lot of people appreciate his talent; producers, directors, actors, fans....

He is the ultimate example of an actor who everyone recognizes in movies but no one knows him by name. I can't agree about the versatility though considering he plays the exact same character in every movie, which is part of what makes him so recognizable.

Well in Sweden pretty much everyone knows him by name but ye I get what you mean. For me Steve Buscemi used to be that guy as well, he was in everything but I never knew his name (I do nowadays obviously).
