Pacino is different in film roles eg. Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Scent Of A Woman, The Godfather (he should have won an oscar for part 2), Scarface, Heat, Donnie Brasco, The Insider, Insomnia

 

Granted a lot of them are mob figures/cops but each one is a different character.

 

He was brilliant in Donnie Brasco, Godfather part 2, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Scent Of A Woman & Scarface. He probably won his oscar through the crappiest role there though.

 

Agree on Phillip Seymour Hoffman he's a great at what he does Doubt, Charlie Wilson's War, Capote, Owning Mahowny, Punch-Drunk Love, Magnolia, Boogie Nights all pretty different and nails every single one.

 

Benicio Del Toro though I'm not sure if he is underrated is an awesome actor I saw Things We Lost In The Fire and reminded me EXACTLY of a friend who died from a heroin overdose.

Any actor that wins an acadamy award shouldn't be considered underrated

All 3 of these guys have won

Never heard him referred to as such, maybe I'm just out of the loop.

 

No worries, I correct people all the time when they call The Wire underrated, so it's some payback ha

 

yeah...most people arnt really up on him because dude has only been in like 5 films. i hear he is super duper picky about what roles he takes. but dude is so monster that he stays in character for months after the film is over.

 

and anyone who says the wire is underrated should just end their lives now.

When I saw Rutger Hauer up there, I immediately thought of

William Sanderson, always top notch in whatever work he's doing. And...

Edward James Olmos, underrated IMO, another Bladerunner alumni

 

Olmos killed it in BSG, plays a tough old bastard like nobody else. Also American Me, he stared in and directed that movie and it is probably one of the best prison movies ever made.
