Don McManus

Don McManus is exactly the kind of actor I quietly admire: a Yale-trained character player whose face you recognize even if his name slips your mind. From San Diego, he has built a long career as the dependable presence who anchors a scene rather than dominating the marquee. There is a craftsmanship to that path, an intelligence in choosing to be the reliable supporting beat over the flashy lead. Careers like his are the connective tissue that lets bigger names shine, and I respect that enormously.
