Great Actors You've Never Heard Of

We're watching Prison Break on Netflix at the moment and happened upon Robert Knepper playing the part of a creepy, slimy convict nicknamed T-Bag. Although having looked at his history we must have seen him before - he's been in The Hunger Games among others - in this he is truly outstanding.

Can you think of any great actors you'd never heard of before that one outstanding performance brought them to your attention?

I loved Prison Break, all four seasons that I had on PC so never missed one... just had a look I didn't know about a fifth season Prison Break: Resurrection. 2017. I wouldn't of known about that without your thread... Nice one Naomi and I'm better equiped to watch it.

I'll think about you OP and get back to you.

We thought that T Bag was great in Prison Break.  Never known anyone have as much bad luck as them though.  Think I may have been inclined to have stayed in prison

Ok I've just watched Prison Break: The Final Break which sits between Seies 4 and series 5 and there's and actor on there who turns up in loads of things I wouldn't say 'Outstanding' as Robert Knepper who I've known since prison Break.

But I never knew his name, William Fichtner he doesn't turn up in Prison Break though until series 2.
