    My nominee would be the guy that was a jobber on some of the late 90’s crime dramas, kind of got his break as the voice for an M&M, started doing a little voice over work, then became THE character actor of the 2000s appearing in or doing voice work in 98 feature films, 76 television/streaming series (and over 600 actual episodes), and 10 video games. He’s also narrated about a dozen audiobooks…

    He’s also recorded hundreds of commercials as the M&M and dozens of commercials for a major insurance company…

      He's one of those guys I mentioned - always working, but never a huge star.

        Lena Olin.

        I loved her in Havana, a very underrated movie that also starred Robert Redford and Raul Julia.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          I see that one also starred Alan Arkin -- another very good underrated actor.

          A favorite of mine has always been William T. Macy. I think the camera didn't love him the way it has other major stars.

          Another one is Danny Glover. He starred in a PBS production, where he played the devil. He took your breath away. Made you sorry he piddled around with those cop-comedy things when he could have burned up the world.

            J.K. Simmons has almost achieved actual stardom due to the sheer volume (and quality) of what he's done.

                He sure has. You really should look at his IMDB. Incredible.

                  @Catseye3 I love Bill Pullman. He lives nearby (by Montana standards). His brother is a an infectious disease doctor in Butte, and is who finally got the hospital to do a Covid Test on Steve back in the beginning of March, 2020.
