10 Amazing Actors Yet To Realise Their True Potential

6. Patrick Wilson

Like Jesse Plemons, Patrick Wilson also has the good fortune to be currently appearing in FX's second season of Fargo, undoubtedly one of the best dramas - if not outright best of the year - on television. His acting here is reminiscent of James Stewart's stoic and morally upright persona, and it's perfectly pitched. Wilson has a classic everyman kind of look which has secured him countless supporting roles in a range of genres, but rarely has he had an opportunity to truly shine and define a role for himself - the most notable exception came in 2014 with his performance in Stretch, in which he plays a limousine driver who gets caught up in web of intrigue in Los Angeles after attempting to steal business from a rival company. Stretch not only proved that Patrick Wilson is more than capable of holding a feature film on the strength of his performance, but also that he has a range rarely exploited. While the upcoming sequel to The Conjuring is unlikely to see him push the envelope. a strong reception from his latest film Bone Tomahawk is sure to keep him on the right track.
