My Take
Amanda Aday appeals to my taste for the understated character actor. A New York native who moves between stage, television, and film and has even directed, she is best remembered as Dora Mae Dreifuss in the first season of HBO's Carnivàle, a strange, shadowed series where she left a real impression. She is not the type to sprint up the celebrity ladder, and I tend to trust performers who pick textured projects and inhabit them carefully. Her training at CalArts shows. Actors who understand both sides of the camera bring extra depth to a scene, and I quietly root for her.
