Clint - Gran Torino was just incredible. He's what - 70 years old? Playing a "sensitive" tough guy? Writing, directing and starring?

The man is incredible. He has done it all acting wise, and few films he's been in have been duds.
That film was really powerful. I love small little semi-indie films like that.

I haven't seen Hereafter. Certainly looked like a stretch for him.

I LOVE Judi Dench (M in the bond movies, Aereon in
The Chronicles of Rid**** )
One actor that I always thought was terrific (though maybe it was just his character on Torchwood) is Burn Gorman.
Another one who bothers me yet I am always compelled by his roles is John C Reilly. Another under rated actor is Michael Rooker who always plays a great villain...
Actually I just looked up IMDB list of under rated actors, what a great list:
IMDb: The 300 Most Underrated Actors (Great Character Actors) - a list by aladdinsane85
and on for the actresses:

Richard Schiff is one I love - actually all of the West Wing actors are brilliant, there's moments in that show where there's no dialogue and they just invoke all these emotions with their facial expressions alone
