My Take
David Koechner is the kind of character actor I treasure. Out of small-town Tipton, Missouri, he ground his way up through Chicago's ImprovOlympic and Second City before stealing scenes as Champ Kind in Anchorman and the gloriously awful Todd Packer on The Office. What I love is how he can be obnoxious yet impossible to dislike, shifting the air of a scene the instant he appears. That's the raw human instinct improv builds. Add his screenwriting and voice work, and you have a craftsman who keeps comedy turning. The leads get the posters; people like him get my admiration.
