The most underestimated actor (actor, as opposed to Hollywood Big name) of my generation would have to be Sylvester Stallone. And it can be proved with three movies.

Rocky (or Ronky on Imdb forums)

Ronky Rocky II

First Blood

Of these, two were written by Stallone himself, (The Rocky movies, First Blood was based on a novel by David Morell ) and one was directed by Stallone. (Rocky II). All of them are high quality dramas.

Which is where Stallone may have made his mistake in terms of the genre he eventually chose. He should have stayed in more dramatic roles. Maybe he wouldn't have made as much money, but his quality of films would be much higher.

And after all that, I forgot Rocky Balboa.

Sylvester Stallone, dramatic actor. Thats how I see him.

Something Sly Said -

"We're all flawed gems in the crown of life!" - Sly Stallone.

He's right and he's brilliant in so many ways. People tend not to take him very seriously because of his bizarre wit and his looks. Then there are others who take him for EXACTLY those reasons! He's taken on a lot in his life and has weathered the ups & downs. Through it all the word has gotten a good look at Sly....YOUR FANS LOVE YA!!
