My Take
Julian Richings is a character actor's character actor, and I mean that as the highest compliment. With over 225 credits and that unmistakable angular face, he changes a scene the moment he appears. His turn as Death in Supernatural is iconic, but it's the breadth of his horror work that fascinates me. He never needed top billing to leave a mark, which is exactly why I trust performers like him more than many leading names. An Oxford-born talent who built a career in Canada through sheer craft, he embodies the dignity of the supporting role.
