My Take
Carmen Argenziano is the kind of actor whose face you recognize long before you can name him, and I mean that as a compliment. With over 70 films and around 100 television appearances, he was a true working character actor, the connective tissue of American screens. To Stargate fans he'll always be Jacob Carter, but I find it remarkable that the same man also turned up in The Godfather Part II, The Accused, and Angels & Demons. That's a five-decade career built on reliability rather than headlines. He passed in 2019, and to me he represents the unsung craftsmen who quietly hold productions together.
