Regina King-performance in Ray was Oscar-worthy. good in everything she does.

Morris Chestnutt-good acting skills. mediocre movies.

Keith David- very underrated IMO

Larenz Tate-not always consistent but Menace to Society was off the charts.

Idris Elba-you can never tell he's British and he kills every performance

Hassan Johnson-terribly underused but solid when he gets work

Salli Richardson-a very good and underrated actress

Chiwetel Ejiofor-another solid British actor. very good.

Delroy Lindo-was on a roll for a while but never got the big leading roles he should have

Eric Lasalle-solid actor and underused

gettin sleepy

as far as my man Cheadle I think it's universally known he's a great actor. IMO he's not underrated anymore.

I agree with some previous picks but some not so much.
 
Damn I didn't realize Taraji Henson was so fine, but for this list I would have to go with Don Cheadle. Dude is damn near Oscar worthy with some of the role he has played.
 
In addition to the others on this list

-Ving Rhames
-Isiah Washington
-Dwayne "Rock" Johnson
-Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Adebisi on Oz)

and one of my faves
-Andre Braugher
