Judah Friedlander

For me Friedlander will always be Frank Rossitano in 30 Rock, that trucker-cap savant who somehow stole scenes by underplaying everything. But I think his real range shows in American Splendor, where his Toby Radloff earned him an Independent Spirit nomination, proof he can act as well as deadpan. Coming out of Gaithersburg, Maryland and grinding through New York University into stand-up, he built a career on craft rather than spectacle. I have a soft spot for performers like him: never the loudest in the room, yet the ones who make every scene work. I hope he keeps doing it exactly his way.
