My Take
Miriam Shor is the kind of actor I instinctively trust. Her breakout in the Off-Broadway and film versions of Hedwig and the Angry Inch announced someone willing to take genuine risks on stage, and she has carried that fearlessness through decades of television and film. From a Minneapolis upbringing and University of Michigan training, she built a craftsman's career rather than a celebrity's, quietly earning respect on set after set. Her move into directing feels like a natural extension of that curiosity. I prefer performers who win through substance over flash, and Shor is a sterling example worth following.
