My Take
Dan Bakkedahl is exactly the kind of character actor I treasure. His foul-mouthed Congressman Furlong on Veep was a masterclass in stealing scenes from the very edge of the frame, and his time as a Daily Show correspondent under Jon Stewart clearly sharpened his timing and bite. I value performers who never chase the lead but make every ensemble sharper just by showing up. The fact that he also does voice work tells me his range is wider than his profile suggests. Bakkedahl embodies the unsung craft of comedy, and that is precisely why I keep watching for him.
