My Take
Jeffrey Combs is exactly the kind of actor I admire most: the chameleon you recognize instantly yet can never quite pin down. Re-Animator made him a horror icon as Herbert West, but it's his Star Trek work that genuinely impresses me. Playing Brunt, multiple Weyouns on Deep Space Nine, and then Shran on Enterprise is a quiet acting flex most people never notice. He builds wholly different humans inside heavy prosthetics, which is harder than it looks. I think of him as a character actor's character actor, the sort fans treasure precisely because Hollywood never crowned him a leading man.
