My Take
I have a genuine soft spot for Anthony Denison, because he's the kind of actor who makes every scene feel lived-in without ever seeming like he's working at it. New York-born and theater-trained at SUNY New Paltz, he spent years paying dues before landing the role that really showcased what he can do — Lieutenant Andy Flynn on TNT's The Closer and its spinoff Major Crimes, where he ran for a combined thirteen seasons alongside Kyra Sedgwick and Mary McDonnell. Flynn could have been a stock gruff-cop type, but Denison gave him genuine warmth, quiet damage, and a dry humor that made the character one of the most compelling ensemble players on prestige cable TV in that era. He never quite got the awards recognition that probably should have come his way, but anyone who watched that show knows he earned every scene he was in.
