Harold Perrineau has had a long and solid career, but I feel he deserves more widespread acclaim for the sheer quality of his acting. In particular, his turn as Mercutio is Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo + Juliet' back in 1996 was just outstanding. I still rate that as one of my all-time favourite performances by an actor in anything.

I have this problem with Gary Oldman: 9 times of out 10, I don't even know it's him until the credits roll. His whole performance is just so chameleonic that usually I can only see the person he's playing, not the actor underneath. He's so good at this job that he can almost fly under the radar while doing it.
