Happy 61st Birthday, Bill Murray! What’s His Most Underrated Moment?

Though I like arguing on behalf of underrated performers ( Melanie Griffith , for example), sometimes it’s more fun to commemorate our indisputably great actors. Bill Murray is the ne plus ultra of deadpan comic delivery — salty as the Dead Sea, dry as Death Valley, and great in almost everything. He’s 61 today, which means it’s our duty to shine light upon his more underrated moments in movies. What’s your pick?

Yvonne Strahovski on Killer Elite, Her Comedy Debut With Seth Rogen and a Baby For Chuck

Over the past four years, Yvonne Strahovski has acquainted herself with television audiences as CIA agent Sarah Walker on NBC’ s fast-paced, quick-witted spy series Chuck . Now, as the beloved comedy-drama gears up for its fifth and final season, the Australian actress is making her big-budget box office debut in Gary McKendry’s action film Killer Elite which pits a retired British Special Air Service member (Jason Statham) against a violent hit squad. As Statham’s onscreen girlfriend, Strahovski gets to retain her Aussie accent, stay away from the testosterone-fueled violence and share coffee with Robert De Niro.

Martin was must see TV. From 1992-1997, busting a gut off ol’ Marty Mart and his cast of characters was a Thursday night ritual for many in the black community.

The Very Busy Chris Pratt on Preparing for Moneyball, Goofing in What’s Your Number? and Ten Year

Television watchers have been hip to Chris Pratt since he first appeared on The WB series Everwood in 2002. Other supporting roles in television ( The O.C. ) and film ( Bride Wars ) followed, but the Minnesota-born star really came into his own with his winning turn as Andy Dwyer, pratfaller extraordinaire-cum-romantic lead, on the beloved NBC series Parks & Recreation . Now, with three films coming out this fall, including two next month, Pratt is poised to tackle the big screen with a fervor his Parks & Rec alter ego would usually reserve for the Meat Tornado .

The Undefeated Reviews

New York Magazine: “Maybe it#39;s all the far-right love being soaked up by the Michele Bachmann sponge or maybe The Undefeated just isn#39;t the best way for Palin to reach her prime demographic.
