My Take

Enrico Colantoni might be the best argument I know for valuing character actors over movie stars. The range is absurd: the gentle alien Mathesar in Galaxy Quest, the warmest father on television as Keith Mars, and then the quietly terrifying Elias on Person of Interest. Few actors can flip from comic softness to controlled menace without changing their volume. I suspect his Toronto roots and University of Toronto background gave him that economy. Whenever I see his name in a cast list, I trust the show a little more. He never carries projects loudly; he makes everyone around him more believable, which is the rarer gift.
