20 Most Underrated Actors Working Today
5. Zoey Deutch
Though she is by some margin the biggest actor on this list, there's still a remarkably good chance that Zoey Deutch is the most underrated comedic actress of her generation.
Though none of her films has been especially big with either critics or the box office, Deutch has carved an impressive career out of turning up in silly and heartfelt comedies alike and consistently delivering the goods.
From Netflix rom-com Set It Up to a scene-stealing, gloriously overblown turn in Zombieland: Double Tap, Deutch's ability to bring to life slightly chaotic but deeply endearing women caught in a crisis is something that you can't not marvel at.
Her best roles can be found in the dramedy Buffaloed, where she plays a desperate but brilliant debt collector fighting the system, and the aforementioned Set It Up, where he role as a struggling assistant to a terrible boss gives the silly romance its beating heart. One-liners galore, she brings warmth to comedy like few actors in her wheelhouse.
