My Take
McDermott strikes me as a versatile survivor of the entertainment world rather than a marquee dramatic actor. His turn as Constable Turnbull on Due South showed comic timing, but he really found his lane through reality television and hosting Chopped Canada, proving he could carry a show on personality alone. I respect performers who reinvent themselves to stay working, and his Toronto-bred adaptability fits that mold. He may not headline prestige films, but the ability to read a room and keep an audience engaged is its own underrated craft, and that's the quality I find genuinely interesting about him.
