My Take
O'Mara is one of those dependable leading men who has anchored several ambitious but short-lived series, which is almost a genre unto itself. His American detective Sam Tyler in the Life on Mars remake never matched the British original's run, and Terra Nova was a gorgeous gamble that fizzled, yet he was always the most grounded thing on screen. I most admire his DC animated work, where his gravelly, weary Batman voice gives the Caped Crusader a real sense of fatigue and resolve. He is the kind of professional who shows up and delivers regardless of how the show around him fares.
