Overrated Actres... Yes, we know 11-year-old Anna Paquin won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the "The Piano," but her over-acted portrayal of Sookie on HBO’s "True Blood" leaves us thirsty for more. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Overrated Actres... Scarlett is the classic case of tomboy-turned-knockout. She gets by thanks to her pouty lips and curvy physique, not her ability to convincingly play a complicated character. (Photo: Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images)

Overrated Actres... Jennifer Aniston is so great at playing the girl who just wants to find love and live happily ever after. The problem is that’s all she’s good at and therefore the only role she’s ever cast in. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Overrated Actres... You can't hide behind that cute smirk forever, Jennifer. Sure you were OK in "Alias," but movie-wise romantic comedies like "13 Going on 30" are your thing and not war dramas like "The Kingdom." (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Overrated Actres... Drew's confused look and slow, lispy speech was cute when she was a kid in "ET." While she was looking for love in "He's Just Not That Into You" it was just plain awkward. (Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... No doubt you've seen or at least heard of "Watchmen," "Angels in America," and "The Phantom of the Opera," but have you heard of Patrick Wilson? If not, you will soon because he's starring in the new "A-Team" movie out later this year. (Photo: Amy Sussman/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... Kevin Corrigan is another in the Apatow pack who tends to get typecast as a disheveled sociopath much of the time. A haircut and a less creepy role would probably work wonders for his career. (Photo: Matt Carr/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... Forget everything you thought about Saget as Danny Tanner. In the last several years, the comedian has completely reinvented himself, with hilarious guest spots on "Entourage" and "Californication," but he's shown he can still do lovable network TV dad as the narrator telling the story to his kids on "How I Met Your Mother." (Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... Ferguson's transition from stage to small screen is about complete. After a couple of comedy misses -- "The Class" and "Do Not Disturb" were both canceled in their first seasons -- he's become one of the standouts of the hilarious ensemble cast of ABC's "Modern Family." And this time we can rest easy: The show has already been picked up for a second season. (Photo: ABC)

Underrated Actor... Michael Cera may be getting all the awkward teen hype, these days, but Jesse deserves as much praise for his turns in "Zombieland" and "Adventureland." He left land for the sea in "The Squid and the Whale." (Photo: Peter Kramer/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... You know him from his quirky comic spots on shows like "Friends" and "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," and, of course, his voice work on "The Simpsons." But Azaria can do drama, as well, carrying his own drama on Showtime's sadly overlooked "Huff." (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... Sam Rockwell might have one of the coolest names in Hollywood. He’s also a fine actor who has played outlaw cowboy, oddball addict and anxious academic. Could it be his predilection for awkward parts is keeping him from being part of the Hollywood elite? (Photo: Michael Caulfield/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... We'll have to see what else he can do when future roles come around, but Kartheiser made an immediate impression as the young punk you love to hate on "Mad Men," and he's just gotten better since Season 1. (Photo: AMC)

Underrated Actor... He's come a long way from "Third Rock from the Sun," and Joseph Gordon-Levitt showed he could carry a heartfelt romantic comedy in the under-the-radar tale, "500 Days of Summer." (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for VH1)

Underrated Actor... Don't fault him for the pretty face. Reynolds is quickly becoming a presence on screen with impressive, heartwarming roles in movies like "Definitely, Maybe" and "Adventureland." (We'll just pretend "The Proposal" never happened). (Photo: Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images)

Underrated Actor... When Don Cheadle is in the house, you can pretty much guarantee you'll be captivated, whether he's going for some laughs in the "Oceans" movies, or taking on serious drama in films like "Hotel Rwanda" and "Crash." (Photo: Greentrees Films)

Underrated Actre... It's unclear to us why Seyfried hasn't really taken off just yet. She was sugary sweet in "Mamma Mia" and is showing more of an edge these days on HBO's "Big Love." (Photo: Sony Pictures Classics)

Underrated Actre... She may have regrettably jumped at the chance for a lead role in "Confessions of a Shopoholic," but that mistake notwithstanding, Isla is developing into a big-screen queen. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... It's easy to cast her off as another pretty face, but McAdams has brought life to otherwise forgotten films like "The Family Stone," and she's held her own on-screen with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Robert Downey Jr. She must be doing something right. (Photo: Warner Brothers)

The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
Underrated Actre... Sure, she won an Oscar, but Tomei still hasn't moved out of the supporting role, which is a shame. She just keeps getting better, and showed in "The Wrestler" last year that she's not afraid to take on real-life drama and take risks. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... Much like the seasons Summer of the hit teen drama "The O.C." came and went. She was great as the ditzy yet immensely sincere BFF to Mischa Barton and has recently guest starred on "How I Met Your Mother." Keep the hits coming, Rachel! (Photo: Fox)

Underrated Actre... She was good in "American Pie." She's great in "How I Met Your Mother." New mom Alyson Hanigan is certainly someone to watch. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... You might not even know her name, or even the name of her FX comedy, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and that's the point. Olson is easily one of the funniest women on television and deserves to be recognized as such. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... English actress Samantha Morton is an indie darling known for her work in “In America” and “Sweet and Lowdown” who has received two Oscar nominations, but has failed to reach the stardom of many of her co-stars. (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... We were as surprised as anyone when Hathaway took on serious drama in "Rachel Getting Married." And we can admit we were even more surprised at her remarkable performance. She's more than the cute face from "The Princess Diaries," and it'd be a mistake to write her off. (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... Lauren Graham is everyone’s favorite hot mom, but her part in “Bad Santa” proved that she has an edgier side and comedy chops to boot. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... Yea, Yea...Lindsay is out of control. She says crazy things and forget to wear pants. Insanity aside, we know Lohan still has acting ability stuffed deep down into her pleather leggings and Jimmy Choos. (Photo: First Look International)

Underrated Actre... Child stars can be tricky, but the one-time "Little Miss Sunshine" has shown she was no fluke. As she's grown up, she's challenged herself, playing a too-wise-for-her-own-age, curious daughter in "Definitely, Maybe," and taking on big drama and action in "My Sister's Keeper" and "Zombieland." (Photo: NBC)

Underrated Actre... She stole the show from Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada," and Blunt hasn't looked back since. Her turn in "The Young Victoria" should put her on a path to Cate Blanchett-like status. (Photo: Back Lot Pictures)

Underrated Actre... Ellen gained fame after starring in "Juno," but dry humor isn't her only gift. She was a crazy teen in "Hard Candy" and we bought her psychosis. (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Underrated Actre... For too long, Lynch has been "that one who was really funny in...," with the sentence being completed usually by the name of one of Christopher Guest's uproarious comedies, including "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind." But with her new role in "Glee," and even a brief but brilliant turn as Meryl Streep's sister in "Julie & Julia," Lynch is finally getting some long-deserved recognition.

Underrated Actre... In most cases actors who sing and singers who act are doomed for failure. Zooey is the exception. She was so believable as 20-something confused about love in "(500) Days of Summer" and croons sweet tunes in her spare time. (Photo: ABC)

Underrated Actre... Anna Faris is hilarious! Tina Fey gets all the credit for being the wittiest woman around, but we're hoping some bigshot realizes Anna is a comedic jackpot. (Photo: Toby Canham/Getty Images)
