My Take
Alan Ruck is the patron saint of the slow-burn career, and I love him for it. For decades he was Cameron Frye, the anxious best friend who let Ferris run the show, and that quiet, wounded quality stuck with me. Then Succession arrived and he turned the eldest failson Connor into something both ridiculous and quietly heartbreaking, earning Emmy and Golden Globe nods late in life. There's a grounded Cleveland decency to him that anchors every scene he's in. I admire actors who steal moments rather than spotlights, and Ruck does it with effortless, generous timing.
