Jay O. Sanders

Jay O. Sanders commands my respect as an actor genuinely rooted in the theatre. From his off-Broadway debut in a 1976 Shakespeare in the Park production of Henry V, he has returned again and again to the Public Theater, the mark of a performer who treats the stage as home rather than a stepping stone. A Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award winner who also writes plays, he carries a quiet double mastery, and though film and television have used his sturdy presence well, his heart clearly stays on the boards. I admire that grounded, principled career deeply.
