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

6. Emile Hirsch

All I really need to say about Emile Hirsch is this: Into The Wild (2007) - those of you who've seen it will know what I'm talking about. To be honest, apart from that flawless portrayal of Christopher McCandless, Emile Hirsch hasn't really done too much else of note. But the thing is, Into The Wild is all the evidence we need to really understand that Hirsch should be more of a Hollywood top-dog than he is. There's a lot of promise in him to star in something as great as Into The Wild again, promise that may be revealed in his upcoming features in Prince Avalanche (2013) and The Motel Life (2012 - yet to be released in the UK) - the first alongside Paul Rudd as Lance, a very strange road worker, and the second as Frank Lee, who helps his brother skip town after an accident. If he manages to pull it off, Emile Hirsch might be a name we hear a lot more of.
