Kristen Bell is best known for her roles in Veronica Mars, Frozen, and The Good Place, but her filmography is filled with underrated performances that deserve more recognition.
One standout is her role in The Lifeguard (2013), where she delivers a deeply emotional performance as a woman facing a quarter-life crisis.
In Burlesque (2010), Bell steps away from her usual likable persona to play the cunning Nikki, proving her range as a villainous character.
Another hidden gem is The Boss (2016), where she plays the straight-laced Claire alongside Melissa McCarthy, bringing warmth and humor to the film.
Bell’s voice work in Astro Boy (2009) is also worth noting, as she brings depth and heart to her character, Cora. In Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), she has a small but pivotal role that adds intrigue to the quirky sci-fi romance.
Hit and Run (2012), a lesser-known action-comedy, allows her to showcase both her comedic timing and chemistry with Dax Shepard.
Additionally, her role in the indie drama The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (2022) cleverly parodies psychological thrillers, giving her the chance to flex her comedic and dramatic muscles simultaneously.
Whether in heartfelt dramas, quirky indies, or voice work, Kristen Bell’s lesser-known roles highlight her incredible range, making them must-watch performances for any fan.
