My Take
Kristin Bauer van Straten is a character actor in the best sense, and I admire that enormously. From the icy vampire Pam on True Blood to a memorable Seinfeld turn and a deliciously villainous Maleficent on Once Upon a Time, she keeps landing roles that demand intelligence and a certain cool menace. What I value most is that she elevates whatever scene she's in rather than chasing the spotlight. That she also voices roles shows real range. To me she's the sort of performer whose work only deepens with age, the quiet backbone of every ensemble she joins.
