My Take
Mekhi Phifer won me over the moment he showed up, and the ER years cemented it. A New York City kid who burst onto screens in the mid-90s with Clockers, he moved easily between Soul Food, High School High and beyond, even turning up in Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" video, a lovely period detail. I always root for actors who push to the other side of the camera. Dependable, grounded and quietly accomplished, he's the kind of pro a project is lucky to have.
