Clancy Brown is one of those actors you are always happy to see in any movie/show. I am really liking his character in the Dexter: New Blood series.

At this point I'm not sure he's very underrated. Everyone loves him.

[@Danaluni59]

He’s not underrated in my book

[@Embleo]

He's not underrated, everyone just knows him as Mr. Krabs

[@NeoCreo1]

Clancy lives in that special niche of actors where you instantly recognize them and know they are going to do great, but don’t have the pomp and spectacle surrounding them of the big name actors. I’d call the understated rather than underrated.

[@DickRileyTheConquistador]

Everybody calls everything and everybody UNDERATED in youtbe opinion-land. Its a wayyy overused comment.

[@Numminz]

Clancey just seems like a guy you’d love to have a beer with and talk about life.

One of the greatest performances ever for me was watching him when I was a kid in Highlander. I don't mean like an incredible performance like DeNiro in Taxi Driver or Brando in Streetcar but just memorable and unforgettable for a young kid. Shawshank just showed his amazing range at that very moment he got arrested at the end. Also I found out later he's a trust fund guy. Dude didn't even have to work!

My first exposure was in "Bad Boys". When I saw the highlander Clancy Brown was on my radar from there on out. The movies seemed cheesy at times, but that was production value for its time, which we all understood. I liked the "highlander" for its story and he fit the part. He really showed his prowess in Shawshank. I hope he's not done. He would make the perfect introspective, older part as a step dad or grandfather.
