My Take

Frank Grillo earns my respect as the consummate working actor. An NYU-educated New Yorker who came up through modeling and television, he has built a career on being the most credible tough guy in any room — Crossbones in the Marvel films, Leo Barnes in The Purge series, Rick Flag Sr. in the DC Universe. What I appreciate is that his menace never feels cartoonish; there is lived-in weariness behind the punches. Past sixty, he maintains a physicality actors half his age would envy. He may never be the marquee name, but directors keep calling because he makes everything around him feel real. That's craft.
