My Take
Benito Martinez is one of those actors whose face you know long before you know the name. Born in Albuquerque in 1971, he's built a remarkably steady screen career, and for me his Captain David Aceveda on The Shield is the role that defines him. But what I admire is the range underneath that, slipping into Sons of Anarchy, How to Get Away with Murder and 13 Reasons Why, plus film work going back to My Family in 1995. He strikes me as a dependable character actor, the kind who anchors a scene without demanding it. That sustained, ever-present quality is exactly what I find impressive.
