Spin: Who are some actors you feel like SHOULD have gotten a push in Hollywood?

[BreezyH]

-Cilian Murphy (scarecrow) is definitely talented and I expected bigger roles.

-Ben Foster as someone mentioned

Cilian aint got that golden boy shyt in him, he's got an edge so he's right where he needs to be. that's my dude tho

 

[FlyRy]

Not sure about push but I wish Jeffrey Dean Morgan was in better movies

 

[Professor K.]

I see a clear.... difference in the actor.... demographics between this thread and the other one

Co-sign on my nikka Mo Tibbs aka Demetrius Harris aka the Wild and Crazy Kid himself Omar Gooding

I thought Josh Hartnett was a decent actor, but dude fell off the face of the Earth. I'm guessing he got blacklisted or something

Edit - Just Google'd it and read that he got blacklisted for turning down Superman

nikka didn't have that clout built up around him yet to be turning down movies. As a young actor that's a big mistake

Sam Rockwell got to be the GOAT underrated actor. Dude carried Iron Man 2, Charlie's Angel, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Moon and Seven Psychopaths but barley gets any shine

I thought Romany Malco was gonna be outta here after 40 Year Old Virgin

I've heard folks say Taye Diggs should be way bigger than he is.

There's a fine line between c00n and progressive.

 

[MJ Truth]

I understand why he doesn't/didn't get certain roles but Larenz fukking Tate is a fantastic actor whose talent gets under appreciated when he should, in my opinion, be spoken of in the same breaths as a Denzel or Jamie at this point.

Gina Torres - always will be #1 on my list. If they ever come out with a Storm solo film she should stars in it. There is no way she shouldn't had started in a action movie by now.

Regina Hall - There is no reason she should had not been cast in more comedy films or tv shows. Her career should be better than Anna Faris by a mile.

Kellita Smith - After watching her on Z-Nation she definitely should had gotten more opportunities and been a bigger star.

Wood Harris - he should had gotten more main roles after Remember the Titan and The wire.

Nate Parker - thought he would be in more upcoming movies but it look like he is going to direct a Nat Turner movie.

I actually think Sticky Fingaz should get bigger roles than he does. I thought he was excellent in that short lived show Platinum, I liked his run in the Shield, and I'm one of maybe 3 people that liked his take on the Blade TV show (which I thought was underrated). I know he's got the lazy eye but so what.

Derek Luke
He was at my family (edit) reunion in E.Orange years ago (he was a friend of my cousin Jimmy RIP) when Biker Boys was droppin
Just knew homie would be big time after that joint with Denzel
he still doin the damn thing tho
Should be bigger imo

Guy Pearce is dope, why didn't he blow up?
