My Take
Dylan Baker is the character actor's character actor, and I admire him enormously for it. Most audiences know him as Dr. Connors in the Spider-Man films, but his real artistry shows in roles that make viewers deeply uncomfortable, like Happiness, where he made the unwatchable somehow human. He never needed top billing; he simply sharpens every scene he enters. A Theatre World Award winner and a thinking person's performer, Baker represents the dependable craft that holds movies together. I trust films more when his name is in the credits. Longevity like his is earned through precision, not flash, and that is precisely why I rate him.
