Marcia Cross

Marcia Cross is, for me, the rare actor who can make perfectionism terrifying. Long before Bree Van de Kamp on Desperate Housewives, she paid her dues in daytime soaps and then seized attention as the unhinged Kimberly Shaw on Melrose Place. I admire how she plays women teetering on the edge of control, finding the comedy and the menace in the same breath. Her psychology studies at Antioch seem to feed that uncanny grasp of human darkness. She has never chased tabloid drama; she lets the roles speak. That quiet professionalism is exactly why I keep rooting for her.
