My Take
John Ales is the kind of actor I appreciate more the longer I watch films. He rarely headlines, but his presence in things like The Nutty Professor and Spy Hard gives those scenes a grounding texture that flashier performers can't always provide. What I value is the craftsmanship of the dependable supporting player, the one who makes everyone around him look better. That's a harder, less glamorous job than leading, and he's done it for decades. I think character actors like him are the unsung connective tissue of cinema, and they deserve far more recognition.
