Delroy Lindo

Delroy Lindo is my favorite kind of actor: the one critics call long overdue because he has been quietly excellent for decades. Trained on stage since the mid-1970s and a Tony nominee for Joe Turner's Come and Gone, he brings theatrical discipline to every screen role — that resonant voice, that coiled stillness that can turn warm or menacing in a single beat. He makes good films better and great films unforgettable. The fact that mainstream awards have largely overlooked him says more about the industry than about his talent. Whenever his name appears in a cast list, my expectations for the whole project rise.
