Josh Lawson

What I admire about Josh Lawson is his range. This Brisbane-born talent can carry sharp comedy, then turn around and play a villain like Kano in Mortal Kombat, all while writing and directing his own projects. From House of Lies and Superstore to St. Denis Medical, he is the kind of dependable craftsman who has quietly stayed in the working core of the industry for two decades. He has a warmth on screen that makes ensemble work click, the unflashy professional every cast needs. I find that quiet reliability far more interesting than mere star power, and ensembles are richer for actors like him.
