Judd Hirsch

Judd Hirsch is one of those actors who makes everything around him feel grounded. A Bronx kid who built a long, durable career, he won over generations as Alex Rieger on Taxi and later as the steady father figure on Numb3rs. With a Tony and two Emmys, plus serious stage and voice work, he is the definition of a complete craftsman rather than a flashy lead. What impresses me most is his longevity; still working into his late eighties, he keeps showing up and delivering. Performers like Hirsch are the connective tissue that hold ensembles together. I hope he keeps going.
