Don Cheadle

Don Cheadle is, to me, one of the most underrated greats working today. He is endlessly generous in ensemble pieces like the Ocean's films and the Marvel universe, elevating everything around him, yet his solo turns in Hotel Rwanda and Miles Ahead reveal an actor of staggering depth. With nominations spanning the Academy Awards, multiple Golden Globes, Grammys and a Tony, he sits tantalizingly close to EGOT status, and he is also a serious poker player on the side. What I love most is his restraint: he never overplays, never demands the spotlight, and yet you remember him long after the credits roll. That is rare discipline.
