Evan Handler

Handler is one of those reliable character actors who quietly elevates everything he's in. As Harry Goldenblatt he brought genuine warmth and unexpected romantic appeal to Sex and the City, and his Charlie Runkle on Californication was a perfect comic foil. Beyond acting, his openness about surviving leukemia and writing about that ordeal gives him a depth that goes well past the screen. I tend to gravitate toward performers like him who aren't necessarily leading men but make their scenes memorable through sheer craft and likability.
