under rated actor: ed harris

[Peteyandjia]

Good call.

Ed Harris usually plays good guys with character, but he also plays a great dirtbag in State Of Grace.

Which speaking of underrated, is a completely underrated fuckin' Classic.

 

[MaureenCretis]

He told the UK to buy Vauxhall Vectras.

 

[djacobox372]

I'm not sure if Harris is "underrated"

He's won two golden globes and been nominated for an oscar four times.

 

[I Am Legion]

Love him...history of violence

 

[applesbananas]

Enemy at the Gates!

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

It's all about Knightriders.

 

[Tebowned]

He's scary in a few scene and is in pretty good shape for a 65 year old.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

He's the go to voice of NASA - Apollo 13 and Gravity.

 

[bearVSshark]

I ended up going to the strip club.

Watching burn notice now

 

[Lanx]

I watched RoboCop maybe 100x as a kid, I know I watched it enough that the VHS started to get tracking errors, really a 9yr old should not be allowed to watch this much violence!

Anyway I always thought Ed Harris was RoboCop (it's not, it's Peter Weller, i know that now of course)

I remember seeing trailers and thinking, "Oh cool, RoboCop is in this Abyss movie"

Ed Harris is like Gary Sinise. Everyone likes them but they weren't in nearly enough big movies for whatever reason.

IMO Harris is not underrated in the classic sense since we all know who he is. He has a good movie library too. I believe him and Sinise is a fairly reasonable comparison. Harris will not steal the spotlight away in starring roles from the likes of Tom Hanks or Harrison Ford, he will never be 'that guy'.

 

[the ambush]

He's the go to voice of NASA - Apollo 13 and Gravity.

He was also credited as 'the voice' in Field of Dreams.

 

[DM1982]

I'm off this week so I basically have done nothing but watch tv and movies

Great in Apollo 13, great in the rock

Ageee?

He was great as Bulldog in Frasier

 

[Doughbelly]

For decades, I've wanted to see Ed Harris play Erwin Rommel.

 

[HelloJapan]

Ed Harris and Gene Hackman are my favorite American actors.

This.

Speaking of Gene...





But fuck, Glen Garry is epic. Jack Lemon was amazing as well...



...but back to Ed, State of Grace is my favorite movie of this. Ed Harris isn't underrated, but State of Grace is.

This scene sums up Ed Harris's intensity imo...

 

[JDragon]

Not sure if he is such an outstanding actor, but I know that if he plays in a movie, I surely will like it, so he makes good choices.

 

[Organic Damage]

Seems like he would have had more fame with classic 'matinee idol' looks to back up his acting chops, but he's done good work.

I guess you could say the same thing for Sinise.

 

[Plutoburn]

In his more recent work

Run all night

 

[barillas]

He's not underrated but has been forgotten lately, don't know if those relate, who knows how is he doing nowadays. Great actor.

 

[Jack Handy jr]

Ed is a bad dude. Always brings it. And his facial gestures and body language add to the dialogue emensly IMO.
