There are a few actors that I think are really under-appreciated in hollywood. They work their asses off and are pretty much the life of ever scene they're in, but none of your friends know them by name, and you rarely see them nominated for best supporting actor.

Here are a few actors I think aren't given enough credit in hollywood

William H. Macy - Should have won for Fargo, Door to Door, Magnolia and The Cooler, and everything else he's done in the last 10 years.

Philip Seymour Hoffman - Look at some of his movies and picture someone able to play the role better. Boogie nights, 25th hour, Magnolia. Ok, his character in Along came polly could have been played by jack black, but then it would have sucked.

John C. Reilly - This man knows how to choose roles. The good girl, Chicago, The Hours, The Perfect Storm, Gangs of New York, Magnolia, Boogie Nights. I think the roles were written specifically for him.

These movies aren't necessarily some of my favorite movies, but I can't say that there wasn't some damn fine acting in them. I do realize that all three of these actors were in Boogie Nights, and Magnolia. Obviously, Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of both films knows talent. It's sad that none of these 3 guys have ever won an oscar.

There are a few more actors that I think deserve more credit than their given but I won't say them because I don't want my rather large list to contaminate other's lists.
