David Harbour

David Harbour is my favorite kind of star: the one who arrived late. Two decades of theater and small parts came before Stranger Things made Jim Hopper a household name, and you can feel every one of those years in his acting — the weariness, the gallows humor, the bruised decency. Lesser actors play tough; Harbour plays tough as a costume over something soft, which is far harder. His two Emmy nominations feel almost beside the point. What I value most is his honesty about struggle, on screen and off. He earned fame the slow way, and it shows in every frame.
