My Take

Gregory Itzin is one of those actors who made you genuinely hate a fictional president — and I mean that as the highest possible compliment. His Charles Logan on 24 was an absolute masterclass in weaselly, self-serving villainy: sweaty, calculating, plausibly deniable, and somehow even more infuriating every time he slithered back into the plot. The fact that he was born in Washington, D.C. feels almost too on-the-nose, like the city itself produced the perfect person to portray its worst archetypes. He kept showing up across American TV — The Mentalist, Covert Affairs — because casting directors knew exactly what they had. When he passed in July 2022 at 74, the character-actor world genuinely lost one of its great craftsmen. Rest easy, President Logan. You were magnificently awful.
