20 Most Underrated Actors Working Today

19. Rosario Dawson

Everyone knows her face, too few have given her her flowers. For over two decades, Rosario Dawson has been one of our most consistent and dependable stars of both TV and film, and despite the depth of her back catalogue, audience and award recognition has always managed to elude her. 

With affecting work in a wide variety of dramas, from Spike Lee's touching He Got Game and 25th Hour, to a whole host of breathless action flicks including Sin City and Unstoppable, Dawson has carved a career out of her brilliant ability to blend into any role regardless of genre or size; she simply turns up, and elevates the material by being present. 

A quality of many great actors is how easy they make their work look - how they blend into the role and film they're a part of.

Dawson has never stolen a movie, but she's always been an integral part of them.
