Maggie Siff

Maggie Siff is, to me, one of the great practitioners of restraint on American television. From Rachel Menken in Mad Men to Tara Knowles in Sons of Anarchy and Wendy Rhoades in Billions, she keeps playing intelligent women who carry private weight, and she does it without ever raising her voice. There is a stage-trained precision in her, a Bronx toughness softened by genuine warmth. She rarely takes top billing, yet she shifts the temperature of every scene she enters. Honestly, I trust a project more the moment I see her name in the cast.
