My Take

Curtis Armstrong is one of those actors I think of as a comedy institution without ever being the lead. To a lot of people he'll always be Booger from Revenge of the Nerds, but his range is wider than that single role suggests. He was Miles in Risky Business, Herbert Viola on Moonlighting, and later Metatron on Supernatural, jumping between film, television, and voice work. A Detroit native and Oakland University grad, he reads to me as a reliable character actor — the kind who shows up, steals a scene, and keeps a career running for decades. That durability is the part I find most impressive.
