My Take
Ben Daniels strikes me as the kind of actor the industry quietly leans on. He earned his stripes on stage, an Olivier nomination, a Theatre World Award, before broadening into film and television, and that theatrical grounding shows in everything he does. What I admire is that he never chased flashy stardom; instead he disappears into roles, building characters from the inside out. Even his genre work, like The Exorcist, carries the gravity of someone trained to fill a live room with nothing but craft. I have a soft spot for performers like this, the ones who lift a whole production a notch without demanding the spotlight.
