Greg Germann

Greg Germann has mastered a paradox I find genuinely difficult: making unlikable men a pleasure to watch. Richard Fish on Ally McBeal was smug, money-obsessed, and ethically slippery, yet Germann's timing made him the show's comic engine and earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award. Decades later he pulled off the same trick as the arrogant Koracick on Grey's Anatomy and a smirking Hades on Once Upon a Time. That consistency tells me this is not typecasting but a deliberate specialty, executed with theater-honed precision. Character actors like Germann are the load-bearing walls of television, and I would argue he is among the best of his generation at it.
