My Take
Kevin Dunn is one of those actors I genuinely love spotting in a cast list because you just know the movie or show is going to have some real texture to it. The Chicago-born Illinois Wesleyan grad has been quietly one of Hollywood's most reliable character actors since the late '80s, and his knack for playing blustery authority figures with just enough vulnerability to make you feel for them is seriously underrated. Whether he's the hapless White House communications director in Dave, the exasperated government agent across the Transformers films, or the painfully ambitious and self-deluding Jonah Ryan's boss on Veep, he brings an authenticity that elevates every scene he's in. Dunn is proof that the supporting actor is often the secret engine of a great film or TV show.
