My Take
Elizabeth Reaser is the consummate character actor, the name you forget until you realise she's been quietly elevating your favourite shows for years. From Grey's Anatomy and Mad Men to The Handmaid's Tale and The Haunting of Hill House, she keeps choosing prestige material and disappearing into it. Many know her only as Esme from Twilight, but that undersells a Michigan-raised, Oakland University-trained actress who clearly cares more about the work than the wattage. I find that kind of longevity admirable: she doesn't chase the lead, she makes the whole thing better. A reliable, deeply watchable performer.
