My Take

Michael Weston, born Michael Rubinstein, is the kind of character actor whose face you know even when the name slips your mind. The roles tell the story: the unsettling kidnapper Jake in Six Feet Under, private detective Lucas Douglas in House, Private Dancer in Scrubs, and Harry Houdini in Houdini & Doyle. Northwestern-trained, he's built a career on playing slightly off-kilter, memorable men rather than leads, and I think that's a harder, more durable craft than people credit. He's a reminder that the actors who quietly elevate prestige television are often the ones never chasing the spotlight.
