My Take
Greta Lee is proof that the industry's imagination can run a decade behind an actor's actual ability. She spent years being the sharpest presence in other people's scenes — Russian Doll, The Morning Show — before the spotlight finally caught up with her. What strikes me is her economy: she can carry a long silence and make it feel like dialogue, which is the hardest skill in screen acting. The Northwestern training shows, but never as technique on display. I believe her best work is still ahead; performers who break through in their forties tend to choose roles with real intent, and she clearly does.
