Default underrated black actors
You fail by beginning your list with two overrated actors. The other three fit the bill.

You fail again by not being able to come up with a single other underrated black actress, which took me all of one second: CCH Pounder.

Whenever I hear about Pam Grier I always think of Pam from Martin.

Morgan Freeman is routinely recognized as a fine actor. Does not fit the "overrated" theme.

I remember the House guest appearance also, and I was definitely considering that when including that I didn't care much for him.

I didn't find him very believable. What was his problem again, blind or something? Was just a bit too superficial or something.

Edit: I remember now...he was conscious and couldn't talk. The monologues were dreadful.

And he was a guest patient on House last year -- very good..
Speaking of House, Andre Bruer was the head of the psych hospital where House was during the mini-movie from the beginning of this past season.

if you have an Oscar nomination and have the pull to get a major studio to finance your own movie. You can if you are Samuel L Jackson. I mean Robert Benigni has an Oscar. Big deal!

Benigni doesn't have anywhere near the pull of Samuel L. Jackson. He's a superstar. And everyone knows he rocks. Snakes on a mother ****ing Plane. No one else could pull that off. As great as Snakes on a Plane was, I still don't think it captures the essence of awesomeness that is Samuel L Jackson.

Now if they renamed the Oscars after him, that would be about right.

Have we had Drake Tungsten yet? His entire life is a facade - so much so that he's not even black...

Michael Clarke Duncan was perfect in The Green Mile, it was the role of a lifetime for him.

ACK!

He's so underrated you can't even spell his last name! But I agree, he's kind of underrated, but he was even more underrated after Homicide but before he got his recent somewhat comeback.
