Chris Cooper and Ben Mendelsohn.  Neither has matinee idol looks, they are both actually a little creepy looking.  They also both steal every scene they are ever in with movie star actors headlining.  Another creepy looking guy who acts circles around bigger name stars is Michael Shannon.  I used to see him around my neighborhood, he's an intense/strange looking guy who has a major presence.  Andre Braugher is another guy who has been wasted.

Guess they are more grossly underrated actors, to be a huge Hoywood star you have to have the look.  People like Treat Williams, Clive Owen, Mark Ruffalo, Eric Bana, Alison Lohman, Ron Eldard, Michael Biehn, Carla Gugino should have bigger careers.

Gretchen Mol is sort of the poster boy actress for this, she had Marilyn Monroe looks and was supposed to be the next big thing but it never happened for her.  There were always nasty rumors and it seems she was blackballed (probably Harvey related.)  Linda Fiorentino had a great start and then ended up in cr@p like Red Shoe Diaries on Showtime, probably alongside Treat Williams.

Michael Jai White should have been a huge action star.
