Critical Mass: Actors Who Should Have Had Bigger Careers http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/22/Actors-Who-Should-Have-Had-Bigger-Careers.aspx Comedian Gilbert Gottfried has a joke about meeting aliens and their big question for the human race was, “Ben Gazzara is good actor, shouldn’t he have a better career?” With that in mind, this is a list of my “Ben Gazzaras”, great actors and one actress who did great movies but should have had better careers. LOU GOSSETT JR. I know he won an Oscar. We all know that. The issue is why didn’t he get the roles that are now going to Morgan Freeman and Charles S. Dutton off of that win. AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN is fine, if a bit dated, as a love story. That movie got Richard Gere leading roles for the next fifteen years.
