My Take
Michael Murphy is the kind of actor I file under "a face you trust to be untrustworthy." Born in 1938 and a UCLA man, he built a long career playing executives, politicians, lawyers and other authority figures with a smooth surface and something off underneath. That niche, the morally ambiguous man in a good suit, is harder to pull off than leading-man heroics, and it ages well because it never relied on looks. I appreciate performers who quietly anchor a film instead of chasing the spotlight. Six-plus decades across film, television and stage tells me he's a craftsman first, a celebrity a distant second.
