My Take

Nat Faxon is my favorite kind of creative: someone who can make you laugh and out-write the room at the same time. A Boston-born comic actor familiar from countless films and TV shows, he also walked off with an Academy Award for co-writing The Descendants. That contrast fascinates me, because comedians rarely get taken seriously at the prestige end of the awards circuit. The fact that he can act on set and shape the story on the page tells me he understands narrative rhythm in his bones. Versatile talents like Faxon, who can clown and craft with equal skill, are the ones I find myself rooting for the hardest.
