Mandy Patinkin

Mandy Patinkin is one of the few performers whose speaking voice and singing voice feel like the same instrument. A Broadway veteran shaped by Sondheim who then won an Emmy on television — that range alone earns my respect, but it's his emotional nakedness that keeps me watching. He commits to feeling at a scale most actors would find embarrassing, and he makes it land every time. Debuting opposite Meryl Streep in 1975 and still working with that intensity decades later speaks to rare artistic stamina. His 2018 Walk of Fame star felt less like an honor and more like overdue paperwork.
