Underrated British actors/actresses

He makes Vin Diesel look like Lawrence Olivier.

Olivier would appear in any old nonsense that paid the bills. The Betsy being the prime example. I don't see that it is worth ridiculing less talented actors for doing whatever they can get.

Perhaps swayed by 'A Room for Romeo Brass', which I saw at a film festival and loved, I really rate Paddy Considine.

 

[albionism]

Yeah i love that film.
It's worth seeing just for this scene
of Morrell dancing.

I just love how you can see the boys giggling.

 

[Detroit City]

emma thompson? she's english, right?

 

[Stigmata]

Does Guy Pearce count? He was born in Cambridge.

 

[albionism]

Gina McKee...Not sure if she is "underrated".
I have never seen a bad performance by her.

 

[Detroit City]

benny hill?

Tom Wilkinson. I saw him in Michael Clayton with Tilda Swinton and that Clooney guy. Stunning performance.

 

[Red Faction]

Pete Postlethwaite is an excellent actor.

I've only ever seen him in one film- dead man's shoes, but Paddy Considine was VERY good.
