I guess I'm not getting the question.... because he said "underrated".

80% of the performances everyone is mentioning comes from high production and widely known performance. Not underrated at all.

Some great mentions in this thread, but after reading through the whole thing, I have to agree with Judge Smails from Caddyshack.



Dude was awesome.

That was a good one....when he decided to take the lead role in Jesus Christ Superstar in the middle of rehearsal, that was hilarious.

George Scott in Dr. Strangelove or Michael Keaton in Nightshift

Nightshift is very underrated IMO.

Maybe not underrated but not all that well known:

Peter Capaldi - In the Loop
Steve Coogan - Alan Partridge

Harlan Williams as The Hitchhiker in There's Something About Mary.



He's also awesome as the cop in Dumb and Dumber.
