My Take

For me James Roday Rodriguez will always be Shawn Spencer, the hyper-observant fake psychic from Psych, a role demanding motormouth comedy and razor-sharp deduction in the same breath. The San Antonio native trained at New York University and works as writer and director as much as actor, which tells you the looseness is engineered, not accidental. Beneath all that improvisational chaos sits someone who plainly understands the architecture of a whole story. I have a soft spot for performers who can make you laugh while quietly holding a project together, and he belongs firmly in that lineage, comic on the surface, disciplined underneath.
