Craig Robinson

For me, Craig Robinson is comfort television embodied. As Darryl Philbin on The Office, he had a slow-burn deadpan that let him steal scenes simply by reacting, never straining for the laugh. What I find underrated is how much craft sits behind that ease: five Screen Actors Guild nominations, an Independent Spirit nod, and a Daytime Emmy nomination are not what you collect by accident. He's also a trained musician, which explains the unhurried, rhythmic timing in his delivery. A Chicago kid out of Illinois State, he reminds me that the funniest performers are often the most patient ones.
