Actors you would have liked to be more popular

So last night I rewatched Stuart Gordon's (Re-Animator, From Beyond) 1987 classic Dolls. This movie has always been a favorite and I always enjoyed Stephen Lee (Robocop 2, Wargames, the Negotiator)

This guy was a very talented actor (RIP 2014) I think it is a shame he never landed a lead role on a hit sitcom, or garnered more blockbuster movie creds to his resume.

In the movie Dolls he is the highlight, his comedic timing is gold as the young at heart Ralph, the only one to believe young Judy that maybe the "little people" are up to no good afterall.

This got me thinking what actors fellow sherbros in here really saw great talent in, but thought maybe they weren't giving the chance to show it for whatever reasons.

With Stephen Lee in particular, every role I have seen him in he delivers. A truly special talent that I will always say should of gotten a lot more bigger roles.

His brief cameo at the beginning of Westworld gave me chills, I was really hoping his part was gonna be a bigger piece of that show

Kevin Gage from Heat and Con Air. This guy could of been the ultimate badguy you love to hate in so many movies

 

[Uptown Swinger]

Taral Hicks

She was great in Bronx Tale and Belly then she vanished.

She is now a teacher in NJ.

Ryan Phillippe, my secret gay crush. well, not so secret anymore

I've liked Phillippe in everything I've seen him in. Would, too

My ultimate gay crush is Ian Somerhalder though

^ I only ever saw him in Rules of Attraction. Surprised he didn't become something major because look at him. I heard he has some major TV show about vampires which is huge with teen girls though so maybe he kinda did make it big in a way

Kenneth Cranham beat out Gary Oldman for the role of Dr Channard in Hellraiser 2.....He beat out Gary Oldman...what the hell ever happened to this terrific actor?

He was great in Basquiat.

yeah, so did I. the way of the gun is one of my favorite movies. pity he doesnt get bigger roles. probably pissed someone off in Hollywood, or refused to suck off some dirty fucker.
