My Take
For me John Slattery is Roger Sterling in Mad Men, full stop. That silver-haired charm and the cynical line readings are irresistible, and the role earned him four Emmy nominations plus SAG and Critics Choice wins. A Boston native and Catholic University graduate, he is the ultimate scene-stealing veteran, the kind of seasoned character actor who owns a room the instant he enters. He directs and writes too, so the talent runs deep. He lacks a leading man flash, but trades it for sheer presence. I love this burnished, lived-in quality, and I suspect he only gets richer with age.
