My Take
To me, Leslie David Baker is proof that a single perfectly judged supporting role can outlast a thousand leading parts. His Stanley Hudson on The Office, all weary crossword puzzles and deadpan exhaustion, is one of the great low-key comedic performances of its era, and the two Screen Actors Guild ensemble awards confirm he was central to that chemistry. A Loyola-educated Chicagoan, he brings craft and intelligence to roles that lesser actors would throw away. I admire performers who understand that the ensemble's brilliance depends on the steadiness of its character players, and Baker is a master of that art.
