Most Underrated Actors/Actresses

Just thought of one: Garret Dillahunt.

He was great as the coward who killed Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood. And has showed a great comedic flair in stuff like Raising Hope and The Mindy Project. If I had to guess he probably loses a bunch of parts to Michael Shannon, who himself should get a mention in this thread.

Lake Bell. Or Amanda Peet. Either one, or both. Both fine.

Bill Paxton is your guy. He is great though. I was watching Apollo 13 again the other day and he is great (along with Hanks, Harris, and Bacon).

I'll always remember Paxton from "Aliens". It was his first big break, and though he only had a supporting role, he stole every scene he was in. I thought he was terrific in that movie the first time I saw it in the theater.
