Top 10 Best Actors You Forgot About
Some actors just have to deal with the fact that they’re never going to get the recognition they should for their work. Sometimes, it’s because they’re terrible-and other times, it’s because they’re brilliant but forgotten. Relegated to the supporting roles, or appearing for a scene-stealing cameo then vanishing from the rest of the movie. But we’ve put together a list of actors we know that you’ll have seen, loved-and then completely forgotten about. At the very least, you should recognise number four….
1. Giovanni Ribisi
You probably know him from playing Phoebe’s little brother in Friends- but this reheaded star has done so much more than that. He’s shown incredible range in a number of movies- whether the cartoonishly money-driven businessman in Avatar, the well-meaning but useless husband in Lost in Translation, or the staggeringly hilarious neo-fascist in The Rum Diaries, this is someone who’s continually stolen scenes out from under the noses of every actor- and never gets credit for it. You might have spotted him as Ralph Mariano in My Name is Earl, as well as a host of other TV roles.
