My Take
Matt Ross is the kind of actor I have quietly followed for years, the reliable scene-stealer rather than the marquee name. Raised in Greenwich and trained at New York University, he is instantly recognizable as Alby on Big Love and the deliciously smug Gavin Belson on Silicon Valley, with sharp supporting turns in American Psycho and The Aviator. But what truly won me over is Captain Fantastic, which he wrote and directed, a tender, idea-rich portrait of a father raising his children off the grid. A character actor who can author his own film is exactly the sort of multi-talent I love to champion.
