My Take
James LeGros is the kind of actor I quietly root for. Born in Minneapolis in 1962 and trained at UC Irvine, he built a career on craft rather than spectacle, and his Independent Spirit nomination for Living in Oblivion tells me everything about where his instincts lie. He thrives in the independent and ensemble world, raising a film's temperature from the supporting ranks rather than dominating the poster. I value performers like this enormously, the dependable presences who make scenes feel real. Longevity in this business usually belongs to people who serve the story first, and that, to me, is genuine professionalism.
