I just watched The Fisher King again last week, for the first time in years.
Brilliant is the word that came to my mind, too.
Then I watched him again in Seabiscuit. The guy is versatile, the guy has range.

Patricia Clarkson doesn't seem to get much love, but I suppose her body of work is not as large as some of the other actors mentioned in this thread.
One of my favorite actors who doesn't seem to get a lot of attention is Gary Oldman. Up until recently, he seemed stuck in villainous roles, and now he has been inserted into the Batman/Potter franchise, but I loved some of his earlier stuff, and I bet he'd be up for something less mainstream if it was offered to him.

Steve Buscemi (especially loved him in Ghost World)

Bill Macy

Jake Gyllenhaal

Patrick Fugit.
An immensely talented actor, also weirdly attractive in his own nerdy way.

Hank Azaria. I thought that he was great in "The Birdcage" but I think that his Boris Karloff imitation in "The Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" stole the show.
