When I first moved to Los Angeles, I rented an apartment that Hollywood actresses and actors stayed. The executives would then shuttle them to any of the studio lots for whatever movie they were in and after a long day, bring them back to this apartment. It had an elevator, I think, but it wasn’t operating at the time. You could tell the building had been around for a while as the architecture was a throw back to that time period. While this practice is no longer being used, here is my list of current underrated and overrated actresses and actors.
The underrated actresses and actors come first because they deserve more spotlight. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad, but for whatever reason they aren’t given the chance to be a powerhouse star like the ones we already know. Although on the flip side, they probably aren’t looking for stardom and just want to act. Here they are in no particular order.
Emily Blunt
Angela Bassett
Lili Taylor
Michelle Yeoh
Tilda Swinton
Amy Adams
Rachel Weisz
Michelle Williams
Margot Robbie
Rooney Mara
*******
Don Cheadle
Steve Zahn
Domhnall Gleeson
John C. Reilly
Ben Foster
Antonio Banderas
Oscar Issac
Walton Goggins

Gael García Bernal
The overrated actresses and actors come last because they get enough spotlight. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad either. Maybe, some of the movies they starred in weren’t that good. When you start talking about craft, basically two come to mind for their lack of it. People’s fascination for them doesn’t match what they offer on the screen movie after movie. Sorry, but it’s just how I feel. I’m not going to tell you if they are male or female as you will have to make your own decisions regarding this list. Here they are in no particular order.
Angelina Jolie
Scarlett Johannson
Kristen Stewart
Jennifer Lawrence
Emma Watson
Kate Hudson
Halle Berry

And there you have it, my list of underrated and overrated actresses and actors. I was going to put up pictures, but in the whole scheme of things does it matter. If you are wanting to see their faces that much, I will leave it up to you to browse the internet.
