My Take
Kimiko Glenn won me over as Brook Soso in Orange Is the New Black, a character who could have been pure irritation but became genuinely moving in her hands, earning those ensemble Screen Actors Guild Awards. What impresses me most is her range: originating Dawn in Broadway's Waitress, then quietly building one of the busiest voice-acting careers around. Performers her size often get boxed into quirky-sidekick roles, but she keeps finding the humanity inside the quirk. As a Phoenix kid who made it from Arizona to Broadway, she represents the versatile, hardworking actor the industry undervalues until suddenly she is everywhere. I always smile when her name shows up in the credits.
