10 Actors That Aren't Nearly As Well-Known As They Should Be

10. Casey Affleck

Better known as Ben Affleck's creepy-looking brother, Casey Affleck is the soft-voiced, understated king of deadpan acting (the good kind). His best turn was probably in the phenomenally interesting The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (2007), where he was spectacular as the quiet and socially awkward Mr. Ford, who ends up killing his hero in an effort to make a name for himself. His deliberately croaky voice and sullen face made the character seem genuinely troubled, both inwardly with his own person and outwardly with his feelings toward the man whose life he covets - outlaw Jesse James. Casey pulled off the same kind of chilling quietness as Lou Ford in The Killer Inside Me (2010), but then turned those blank expressions and nearly whispered lines into more charming realms when he played the baby-faced investigator Patrick Kenzie in the movie Gone Baby Gone (2007), and then again as lover-on-the-run Bob Muldoon in David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013). He's already outgrown his brother's shadow, but it seems that few people know it yet. I'd strongly recommend watching all the films mentioned above.
