Deserves to be bigger than she is


Judy Greer is SO underrated. She is such a standout in everything she does and needs to be more well known. I love her! She is one of the high points of the otherwise bland remake of "Carrie."

I've liked her ever since I saw her hilarious character in Arrested Development about a decade ago. Even though she's not A-list she still gets consistent and quality work, especially this year.

She has done quite well. Yes, she isn't really a household name, but she's that actress people whisper, "I know her from somewhere." And she's very well aware of this. I'm sure you've read her book.

I've been a fan since seeing her in Jawbreaker back in '98. I was very surprised over the years seeing her co-star alongside A-list actors in big budgeted productions. I always thought Rose McGowan and/or Juli Benz would go on to have bigger careers. Oh, how things have changed.

I think she has the perfect career just for the fact she's consistently working, and gets to steal the show at times in high profiled films. All while still being a unknown to the masses.

I'm not sure "underrated" is the right word considering that if you mention her name to literally anyone who isn't a casting director or a studio executive, they will surely go off on a rant about how underworked she is.

Love her, deserves larger roles. But a small amount of screen time, is better than no time. She's so versatile and talented. F*uck you Hollywood.

Judy Greer is SO underrated.

An underrated actress is one who is talented, but doesn't get enough roles. Judy works all the time.

That may be your definition, but I was using it as saying that she isn't recognized enough for her talent. Yes, she works a lot, but she isn't recognized the way she should be.

"adjective
The definition of underrated is something that has not received the merit, recognition or praise it deserves.
