My Take
Jack Davenport's poised, quintessentially English bearing is what impresses me most. As Commodore Norrington in Pirates of the Caribbean, he starts as a stiff antagonist and finishes by genuinely moving you, a beautifully shaded arc. Born in London's Merton and schooled at the University of East Anglia, he carries an intelligent kind of charm that feels earned. He glides through television like This Life and Coupling, then anchors the edges of films from The Talented Mr. Ripley to Kingsman. He never overplays his hand, yet always lingers in memory, which makes him exactly my kind of indispensable supporting actor.
