Max Casella

Max Casella is a character actor's character actor, the sort of face you recognize long before you place the name. Born Maximilian Deitch in Washington, he announced himself early on Doogie Howser, then built a deep résumé across The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Vinyl, the kind of prestige television where supporting players make or break the texture. His 1998 Theatre World Award reminds me he's a stage actor first. And then there's Daxter in the Jak and Daxter games, proof of real range in his voice. I value performers like this: never the headline, always the reason a scene works.
