Based on talent and acting ability: Giancarlo Esposito is a top 5 GOAT actor

[Jalether]

He absolutely kills every role I have seen him in.
A lot of the mega stars in hollywood with leading roles in blockbusters are not on esposito's level as an actor
If opportunities and roles in Hollywood were actually based on merit, He would have had plenty of great movies under his belt as a lead actor.

What other actors are criminally underrated and should be a mega star on the level of the Tom Hanks and Samuel Jackson's of these world based on their ability but aren't due to Hollywood politics?

The title says ability and talent wise, it's a careful wording. How many actors are better based on that criteria?

He's up there, but that Gus Fring role kinda typecast him a little...i saw him in The Boys and Rogue One basically playing Gus; stoic, cruel, sharp tongued

and then the new farcry trailer same thing...

He's right there with Delroy Lindo in the underrated category.

tom hanks got to be the blandest big-name actor i've ever seen in my life. every time i watch him in something, i'm always thinking i could do the exact same thing and he's had decades of training.
