John Corbett

John Corbett has what I would call low-frequency charisma — he never seems to be performing, which is exactly why he lasts. From the philosophizing DJ in Northern Exposure to Aidan in Sex and the City, he keeps playing the man audiences wish existed, and he makes it look effortless. I suspect the Wheeling, West Virginia upbringing matters: there is a working-class ease in him that Hollywood cannot teach. Add the parallel life as a touring country singer with his own band, and you get a performer whose appeal is not a role but a temperament. Casting directors call it relaxed; I call it durable.
