Most Underated Actors on TV ... Part 2

As Promised , Most Underated Actors Part 2 . Here are the rest of the Actors .

4. Jay Baruchel - This guy is Hysterical . He first came onto the scene in the great Indie Film , The Rules of Attraction , which was filmed right before his Breakthrough yet Underrated TV show . Undeclared!!! .. Undeclared is a show about college freshman that aired for only one season on FOX . It was Exec . Produced by Judd Apatow , and it also starred the Great Seth Rogen , who would go on to bigger things and many projects with Baruchel . Baruchel is also from Canada , and Baruchal and Rogen are both very good friends. Yet , I feel when Undeclared aired , noone knew of these guys , but I feel FOX never gave this show a chance to find their audience . And At The Time , FOX was struggling , most of thier shows from the 90s , Melrose , 90210 , Married With Children , were done , and I think In a way , this wasn't the right time for them to have Undeclared on . Barcuchel carried that show . He played Steven Karp , a dorky guy who was ready to fall in love , but was extremely awkward at the same time . He soon meets Lizzy , played by Carla Gallo , was his love interest .

I have the Complete Series on DVD , and I've gotten most of my College Friends into it , because you can really realte to Steven's Character , and the other characters , because in a way , those situations happen in your freshman year of college. No matter what kind of person you are . I really hope , Baruchel does some comedies on his own , and without Rogen , I love Rogen don't get me wrong , but Jay deserves the spotlight too .

5 . David Schwimmer- This guy always make me laugh watching Friends . Sometimes , on Friends everyone thought Joey was the funny one . He is , yet so was the Character of Ross . Ross , always got very hyper and made great faces when he was mad , and David Schwimmer I think never got alot of credit in certain situations when he was on Friends. Since Friends , He really hasn't done much . I don't blame him , after being on a susssecful show such as Friends , the guy could quit acting and be okay . But , he has done some acting since Friends ended in May of '04 . He was in the Green Episode of 30 Rock last season , and he has Madagascar Sequel coming out this November , yet he really should do more acting . NBC should give him a sitcom deal . Not as Ross , but something else , if Tina Fey , Molly Shannon , can do it , so he can he . He could easily survive on NBC's Thursday Night . Hell , Put Him back on 30 Rock . People Would Watch .

6. Fred Savage- He First Came onto the Scene , in the Late 80's with the Classic .. The Wonder Years . How Can We Forget his Love for Winnie Copper . One of the best TV realtionships ever recorded . I always liked watching that show . They Used to Play it Frequently in Reruns on Nick On Nite . Why It's Not on DVD , Is Beyond Me. After the Wonder Years , He went on to Guest star on The Outer Limits , and His Brother's Show , Boy Meets World . Then in 1997 , He got the starring role in an NBC Comedy called Working . Now I admit , I did watch this , yet this show was just alright . It was on for two seasons , then NBC canned it . It went downhill pretty fast , If I remember correctly . He then went on to direct alot of episodes for various TV Shows . One of Which was It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia . He's Directing Another 6 episodes for the new season premiering on the 18th . I really think It'd be funny , If he pops up in one of these Sunny Episodes , it'd be awesome to see him on something again .

7. Scott Baio - I've always thought he was funny . I don't care how bad or cheesy Charles in Charge , might have been . I thought it was a good sitcom . It just didn't fit with most demographics , and didn't have the audience it needed to succeed. Yet , It lasted for 6 Seasons , which to me is a good number for any show . Baio defnitely had that 80's star syndrome I discussed earlier . He gets one good show , and never really bounces back into anything else. He has done those two VH1 Reality Shows , but as we all know , he can do better than that , but I don't think people think he can .

8. Paul Rudd- What a Character . Yet Another NJ Native , He starred in a few movies .. 200 Ciggarettes , Romeo And Juliet , The Object of My Affection , ( A Jennifer Aniston Project ) , The Cider House Rules , to name a few . I think , he really got noticed when he played Phoebe's Husband , Mike . Even though , he was only on 17 Episodes towards the end of the show , if you're on a show like that , no matter how long , someone is bound to see your work. He would later go on to many Judd Apatow Projects , Including Knocked Up , Which I believe , Is his best movie yet . Although , like many of these actors on this list , I would love to see him in more title roles . He is very talented , and has great physical comedy . He really does deserve some more movies in a starring role .
