My Take
For me, James Callis is one of those actors whose presence quietly elevates everything around him. His Gaius Baltar in Battlestar Galactica is a masterclass in moral cowardice played with such wit and vulnerability that you almost root for the snake. Yet swing over to Bridget Jones and he's the warm, loyal best friend Tom without missing a beat. That range, from squirming antihero to comfort character, is rarer than people credit. A York-educated Londoner with a Saturn Award to his name, Callis never courted the spotlight, but I think he's the kind of dependable craftsman a production is lucky to have.
