My Take
Arend is one of those actors whose face you recognize long before you can place the name, and I mean that as a compliment. He sneaks into ensembles and quietly walks off with scenes, like McKenzie's deadpan stoner in 500 Days of Summer. There's a New York theater-kid sharpness to his timing that the LaGuardia training clearly instilled. I appreciate that he's never chased leading-man branding; he's a craftsman who shows up, nails the supporting beat, and disappears back into the cast. Reliable character actors like him are the connective tissue that holds good movies and TV together, and they rarely get enough credit for it.
