My Take
Bryan Greenberg is one of those actors I always recognize before I can place the name. The Omaha-born, NYU-trained performer carved out a niche in HBO's How to Make It in America as Ben Epstein, and racked up memorable recurring turns on One Tree Hill, October Road, and The Mindy Project. What I appreciate is that he never chased the leading-man spotlight so hard that it consumed him; he also writes and plays music, which gives him a grounded, working-artist quality. He strikes me as the kind of dependable, likeable presence who quietly elevates an ensemble. I'd watch him in just about anything.
