My Take
Costabile is the kind of actor I prize most: the dependable character player whose face you know long before his name. Billions, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Better Call Saul, he keeps turning up in great shows and quietly raising their floor. There is real craft in never overplaying, in being the texture rather than the spotlight, and his stage and Tufts background suggest a working actor's discipline rather than a star's vanity. I find that integrity deeply admirable, and frankly more interesting than most leading men.
