Josh Duhamel

I have a soft spot for actors who take the unglamorous route, and Josh Duhamel's path — from Minot, North Dakota through modeling and daytime soap opera to a Daytime Emmy — is exactly that. What I appreciate most is his lack of vanity; he is conventionally handsome, yet he plays regular guys with an easy, self-deprecating warmth that travels across genres. He elevates light material without condescending to it, which is a harder skill than it looks. Duhamel may never chase prestige awards, but he is the kind of dependable, likable presence that keeps Hollywood's machinery running, and I respect that enormously.
