John Carroll Lynch

John Carroll Lynch is the kind of actor who makes every single scene he's in better, and I genuinely think he doesn't get half the credit he deserves. The guy has an almost supernatural range for someone who gets billed third or fourth. Trained at Catholic University of America, Colorado-bred, clearly has real craft underneath the character work. I love that he stepped behind the camera to direct too — it tracks for someone this thoughtful about storytelling. Hollywood's great secret weapon.
