So it’s National Blog About Your Favorite Under-rated or Low Profile Actor (NBAYFLPA) Week.
I’m going to have to go with Edward Norton as mine. I think he fits the criteria. The only time I saw him in any of the celebrity mags was when he was dating Salma Hayek. *
I loved him in Primal Fear and Fight Club. He scared the hell out of me in American History X – but he had that charisma down even when he was the insanely evil hate guy at the beginning. He was just fun in Keeping the Faith and Death to Smoochy. We just watched the Illusionist, and I loved the mysterious, sexy, aloofness he exhibited.
He’s one of those actors that sells a movie for me. I’ll go see a movie just because he’s in the cast.
How about you guys? Who’s your favorite low-profile or under-rated actors?
* And what good taste they both exhibited there. I was rooting for em even if WhatsHisFace was in mourning because Salma was off the market.
