James Remar

James Remar is my favorite kind of actor: the journeyman who makes everything around him better. Ajax in The Warriors, Ganz in 48 Hrs., Dutch Schultz in The Cotton Club — these are roles that lodge in your memory even when you forget the leading man. Four decades across film, television, voice work, and stage without ever coasting on celebrity is its own achievement. I think Hollywood runs on actors like him: reliable, dangerous on screen, invisible off it. Trace his filmography and you get an alternative history of American genre cinema. That is why I keep his name bookmarked.
