Not everyone is Tom Cruise or Meryl Streep. So, I say an actor that doesn't get the recognition but is brilliant is Brian Dennehy. Female wise, I'd say Laura Linney.
Great actors/actresses that don't seem to get the recognition.

I could never take Tom Cruise seriously, but that's my problem and has no bearing on his acting talent. To balance the scales, I will pick one that I think is under-rated, and one that I think is over-rated.
Under-rated: Treat Williams
Over-rated: Brad Pitt

I didn't mean Tom Cruise was a great actor, just that he's seems to be a star actor. When I heard that Tom Cruise was playing Jack Reacher I thought they were joking. Having said that, I think he's not too bad as Jack Reacher, but I still think that when you play around too much with the original concept, you lose something.
Over-rated: Angelina Jolie
Under-rated: Robert Loggia, Judd Hirsch, Christine Lahti

Ernest Borgnine,I saw him in Marty the other day..he did such a good,believable job as lonely,sad,but good hearted man who finds someone like him..and many other movies he was in,From Here to Eternity,The Poseidon Adventure,heck even Escape From NY..
Borgnine was great in the original Flight of the Phoenix.

Dean Martin. Oh, he's recognized as the coolest Rat in the Pack, can sing like a madman, and then there's all that comedy stuff he did with Jerry and Frank. But he could deal some straight fine acting when he wanted to. And whatever role, his characters always seemed real. And usually drunk.

Carol Burnett. Wonderful comedian with some outstanding serious roles as well.
She is in one of my favorite little movies --The Four Seasons.Carol Burnett. Wonderful comedian with some outstanding serious roles as well.
Underrated: Donald Sutherland. He can do any type of role, adds to every ensemble, but he rarely gets recognition.
