My Take
James Urbaniak is the kind of character actor I instinctively root for. His Simon Grim in Hal Hartley's films and his Robert Crumb in American Splendor reveal a performer who finds the strange humanity in odd, prickly men. Then there is the other career entirely, his voice work, where Welcome to Night Vale shows off a completely different instrument. I love that he can vanish into a face on screen and command a scene with sound alone.
