My Take
I have a real soft spot for character actors like Mike Starr. Big, gravel-voiced, born in New York City, he has spent a career playing mobsters, cops, and blue-collar tough guys, and you know his face the instant it appears: Goodfellas, Dumb and Dumber, Billy Bathgate. He never needed top billing; he just walks into a scene and grounds it. That Hofstra-educated craft is exactly the kind of reliable, unshowy excellence that holds movies together. The leads get the posters, but actors like Starr are why the films actually work. He is my kind of professional.
