My Take
Cynthia Watros is an actor I associate with real range across very different corners of television. She earned a Daytime Emmy for her work on Guiding Light, then crossed over into primetime, joining The Drew Carey Show and famously appearing in Lost as Libby. That 2006 Screen Actors Guild ensemble award reflects the kind of project she thrives in, a strong cast playing off each other. Born in Michigan in 1968 and trained at Boston University's College of Fine Arts, she has the grounding of someone who treats acting as a craft. I respect performers who move fluidly between daytime drama and ambitious serialized storytelling.
