Give this man an Oscar already!

Ed Harris is such a passionate actor with a tremendous range yet he is criminally overlooked and underrated. Harris is usually a supporting character or the villain but he almost always steals the show with captivating performances. He's already been nominated 4x so hopefully he (finally) gets a win next time. Fingers crossed.

The reason I'm writing this post is because I included Harris in my Top 10 Best Actors Without Oscars video on my new YouTube channel. If you don't mind, check it out and let me know what you think. I'm trying to get my channel to grow and thought the best way to do that is to share it with my fellow film lovers. If you like it, I'd GREATLY appreciate it if you subscribe. If you don't like it, any constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms. Thanks so much!

How has he not won it yet?

He certainly played in a lot of favorite films of mine. The Right Stuff, The Abyss, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Hours, Nixon and Field of Dreams are all very high on my list of favorites. And he has made some very popular films next to it like Apollo 13, The Rock, A Beautiful Mind, The Truman Show and Top Gun Maverick. His career choices have been excellent indeed.

You forgot Pollock. His movie. Great performance and great director.

"Field of Dreams"? Even if he did the voice (unconfirmed), it's hardly a role for any award consideration.

[–] rnmboon (407) 7 months ago

You are right. Not sure why but I was thinking about his role in A Beautiful Mind thinking that it was in Field of Dreams.

He steals the show? More like he steals a living.
