My Take
J. P. Manoux is the kind of character actor I find endlessly endearing. A Fresno native who became a fixture of Disney television, he voiced Kuzco in The Emperor's New School and juggled acting, directing, and writing with real craftsmanship. But the detail that wins me over is his pre-fame run as a contestant on Jeopardy!, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune, proof he was performing and thinking on his feet long before the cameras paid him. He never headlined the marquee, yet his reliable versatility kept him working for decades. I have a genuine fondness for utility players like him.
