My Take
Elden Henson is one of those actors who quietly builds a career on pure likability, and I mean that as the highest compliment. He was the big lovable kid in The Mighty Ducks who couldn't skate but showed up anyway — Fulton Reed became an icon for every kid who felt like the odd one out on the team. Then he disappears into smaller roles for years, and suddenly he's Foggy Nelson in Netflix's Daredevil, and he absolutely steals the show. Foggy is written as comic relief but Henson plays him with real heart — his friendship with Matt Murdock feels genuinely lived-in, and his courtroom moments hit harder than they have any right to. He's the kind of character actor who makes everything around him better without demanding credit for it, and that's a rare skill.
