My Take
Cunningham is the kind of actor I always notice without quite meaning to. His John Pope on Falling Skies had a dangerous, unpredictable charm that never tipped into cartoon villainy, and his recurring Stargate work shows a man comfortable anchoring scenes from the margins. What interests me most is that he also directs and writes; Los Angeles bred a craftsman who understands stories from both sides of the camera. I have a soft spot for performers like this who add weight and texture rather than chase the spotlight. Reliable character actors are the quiet backbone of good television, and he is one of them.
