Really?
I mean he was hilariously underused in a Wolfgang Puck boiling hot dogs sort of way in the Marvel movies.
But in Midnight in Chernobyl, he was a force. He was really good in one of those Dan Brown movies (I think the second one; it had Ewan McGregor as well, IIRC) - Commander of the Swiss Guard and very typical 'weighty' performance from him.
And you'd probably never pick it up because he was much younger, but he was Tupolev in Hunt for Red October. "We're going to kill a friend, Yvgeni; We're going to kill Ramius..."
I don't know how dynamic an actor he is - but in roles that require real gravitas, he is a slam dunk pick.
