A Movie Star, that is not a huge name

[AppleDumpling]

I always liked Bill Paxton - I'm sorry his life ended so early.

OMG, did not know he has passed. How did I miss that? Now I’m sad.
Always liked him too.

I’m sure there are many, but hard to think of. Two that come to mind are John Lithgow and Stanley Tucci.

Maura Tierney. I have watched her since News Radio. Then ER, and now on The Affair.

Ugh. I so revile her character in The Affair and her character on ER was similar too in that she always had some woe-is-me storyline going on.

OMG, did not know he has passed. How did I miss that? Now I’m sad.
Always liked him too.

He seemed like a really swell person IRL too (as much as one can tell these things). A happy 30 year marriage and successfully raised children say a lot to me as celebrities go.

I'm sure if I thought about it, I could come up with many more but these three were the first that popped into my head. All three are Oscar winners, very talented actors but not big names.

Chris Cooper
Octavia Spencer
J.K. Simmons

Agreed on J.K. Simmons.

I like Marcus Giamatti. His brother, Paul, is more well known, but Marcus is also talented.

Everyone's answer was better then mine

Laura Linney—Don’t forget her current show “Ozark”. She is great in that role!

shes amazing in Ozark, she set up to be the primary worker for the mob in the new season, I loved it, she was mad at him for 2 years, then all of a sudden he tries to pull out and she takes over

Can’t wait to watch the next season! To think of it- her co-star, Jason Bateman, is also one of my favorites. He’s funny! In Ozark, though, he plays such a dark and calculating role.

Joan Cusack and Maggie Gyllenhaal, I like almost all of their work and they are in my opinion both overshadowed by their brothers.

Brendan Gleeson - he's such a chameleon when it comes to playing different characters.

He played Hamish in Braveheart, Mel Gibson's BFF in the film.
In Cold Mountain, he played Renee Zellweger's father.
He played Menelaus in Troy, the husband of Helen, whom she left for Orlando Bloom.
And he was Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter series.

His son Domhnall Gleeson is good too.

Jeffery Wright
Karl Urban

Love John Lithgow. I listened to the audiobook of him reading his autobiography -- it's a really great listen.

 

[Moliphino]

J.K. Simmons

He was fantastic on Counterpart. I'm still mad they canceled it.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Neil McDonough

My brain broke when I realized Damian Darhk was also Dum Dum Dugan.

He's in the new Sonic movie...poor guy.

Andre Braugher

Just always good in everything. And among all the REALLY great performances in Glory, I loved his the most.
