My Take
David Garrison strikes me as a true craftsman of the American stage and screen. Most know him as Steve Rhoades on Married... with Children, but I am drawn to how effortlessly he crossed into Broadway, playing The Wizard in Wicked across countless tours. That fluidity between sitcom comedy, musical theater and song reflects a depth of training, his Boston University grounding clearly showing. Born in 1952, he represents a generation of actors who prized range over fame. I respect performers who let character and texture do the talking, and Garrison has spent decades doing exactly that with quiet authority.
