My Take
Bill Pullman is my favorite kind of actor: the one who took the long road. A theater degree, a teaching stint at a university, and then a career built on quiet authority rather than vanity. He can deliver the most famous fictional presidential speech in movie history and make it land without a trace of irony, then disappear into David Lynch's nightmares like a different man entirely. That range without showiness is rare. I suspect his years as a professor taught him to serve the material instead of himself, and it shows in every role. Hollywood needs more careers shaped like his.
