My Take
Chandra Wilson built one of TV's most durable characters in Dr. Miranda Bailey on Grey's Anatomy, and her SAG Award and two NAACP Image Awards are well earned. What I respect is the foundation underneath: a Houston kid trained at a performing arts high school and NYU Tisch, with a 1991 Theatre World Award before most fans ever heard of her. At 155 cm she commands the screen through sheer dramatic conviction, and she's since added directing to her toolkit. Actors who can inhabit a single role for nearly two decades without going stale are, to me, quietly remarkable.
