My Take
Marc Menchaca is exactly the sort of working actor I love to champion. The San Angelo, Texas native doesn't trade on leading-man looks; he specializes in ordinary-seeming men whose depths you can't quite trust, and that's why his turns in Ozark and The Outsider land so uneasily. The moment he enters a scene the air gets grimy and real. That he also writes and directs tells me his characters are built with craft and stubborn thought, not just instinct. He rarely sits at the center of awards season, yet his name keeps surfacing in genuinely good drama, and that quiet reliability is its own kind of stardom to me.
