J. August Richards

J. August Richards is, to me, an actor who tightens a scene the moment he appears. As Charles Gunn on Angel he carried street-hardened survival in his eyes, and as Deathlok on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. he gave strength a current of sorrow. Born in Washington, D.C., he has a grounded, dignified presence that never needs to shout. I admire performers who hold up the foundation of a series rather than dominate it, and his quiet, durable strength is exactly the kind of acting I keep coming back to.
