My Take
Craig Wasson is one of those character actors whose face you know even if the name escapes you, and that anonymity belies a genuinely versatile career. He anchored unsettling films like De Palma's Body Double and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, holding the center of demanding, genre-heavy material, yet his Golden Globe nomination for Four Friends shows real dramatic range too. The Eugene, Oregon native never became a household star, but that slightly underappreciated standing only adds to his appeal for me. I have a lasting fondness for craftsmen who reliably elevate whatever they appear in.
