Eve Myles

Eve Myles is my favorite kind of proof that an actor does not need Hollywood to matter. As Gwen Cooper she gave Torchwood its human pulse — an audience surrogate who never felt generic — but the feat that truly stuns me is Keeping Faith, where she played the same lead role twice, in English and in Welsh, a language she had to learn for the part. That is craft bordering on athletics. She has stayed rooted in Wales her whole career and made the world come to her. In an industry obsessed with relocation and reinvention, that loyalty reads as quiet radicalism, and I admire it enormously.
