My Take

For me, Elliott is the rare actor who proved that endurance is its own talent. Anchoring JAG as Harmon Rabb Jr. for a full decade, from 1995 to 2005, is no small feat; long-running series reward steadiness and quiet conviction over flash, and he clearly had both. I also find it telling that this Ontario-born performer, christened David William Smith, later moved behind the camera to direct. That hunger to grow rather than coast earns my respect. Carrying a single role faithfully for ten years is a craft most viewers undervalue, and I never do.

Overview

David William Smith (born September 21, 1960), known professionally as David James Elliott, is a Canadian actor. He was the star of the series JAG, playing lead character Harmon Rabb Jr. from 1995 to 2005.
