My Take

For me, Alexis Denisof will always be Wesley. What made that performance special wasn't a single scene but the long, patient transformation from a prim, by-the-book bureaucrat on Buffy into the shadowed, genuinely formidable man he became on Angel. That slow-burn evolution is hard to sustain, and it speaks to real stage-trained craft. He showed lovely comic timing on How I Met Your Mother too, proving he can swing between earnest and absurd. I have a soft spot for actors who win you over with substance rather than flash, and Denisof is firmly in that camp. Quietly excellent is exactly my kind of performer.
