He's a character actor, best used in supporting roles. He doesn't have the screen presence to carry a film on his own.

i liked him in gone in 60 seconds

And probably wished he wasn't in Armageddon as Chick Chappell

I agree with you, although I think there is something ironic about talking about how under appreciated or overlooked an actor is and not actually mentioning the actor's name

Oh yeah, I think Will Patton is a fantastic actor who has played likeable characters ("Remember the Titans" and "American Violet" come to mind for me) but his Pritchard charcter in "No way Out" is a total tubesteak. Committed to his man, though, but still

will patton is a great actor!
today's special: shrimp ceviche!

Hope so, because Pritchard was one crazy ass flamer.

I think the OP probably meant in other movies, not necessarily this one.
