My Take
Judge Reinhold is, to me, the patron saint of the memorable supporting turn. He never demanded the spotlight, yet his anxious, good-natured screen presence in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Ruthless People lingers long after flashier leads fade. I respect that he trained seriously at the North Carolina School of the Arts; that craft underpins what looks effortless. The fact that 'Judge' began as a nickname and became his brand says something about an actor comfortable in his own skin. Eighties Hollywood needed players like him to feel real, and I think his quiet reliability is genuinely underrated.
