Douglas Smith

What strikes me about Douglas Smith is how he became a reliable presence in prestige TV without ever forcing himself into the spotlight. I first clocked him as Ben Henrickson on Big Love, and he kept turning up in things I respected, The Alienist, the second season of Big Little Lies, Miss Sloane. He's the kind of Canadian actor who slides into an ensemble and quietly raises its average. I also appreciate that he's a singer and composer on the side, which tells me his curiosity runs deeper than acting alone. I'd watch whatever ensemble he joins next.
