Lizzy Caplan

Lizzy Caplan is my favorite kind of actor: the one critics rediscover every few years and act surprised about. From Freaks and Geeks onward she has specialized in sharp-tongued outsiders who turn out to be the emotional center of the story, and her Emmy-nominated work in Masters of Sex proved that deadpan wit and real vulnerability can live in the same performance. What I respect most is her patience — she never chased the obvious leading-lady route, just kept choosing interesting material until the industry caught up. Two decades in, she still feels underrated, which somehow suits her perfectly.
