My Take
Arthur Hill strikes me as the kind of actor the industry quietly depends on but rarely celebrates loudly. A Canadian from small-town Saskatchewan who trained at the University of British Columbia, he won a Tony for originating George in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, one of the most demanding stage roles ever written. He then carried a network legal drama as Owen Marshall. What I respect is the craftsman's steadiness across stage, film, and television, the unflashy reliability that anchors great productions. He is the sort of talent I think deserves far more remembrance than he gets.
