My Take
What I appreciate most about Joe Flanigan is how effortlessly he made John Sheppard feel both heroic and human in Stargate Atlantis. There's a wry, understated charm to his work that never tips into showboating. The fact that he also writes intrigues me; actors who think structurally about story tend to bring sharper instincts to a scene. He has kept a relatively low public profile, which I read not as fading but as a deliberate choice. To me he is the kind of dependable, quietly intelligent performer that genre television is lucky to have.
