Nolan Gerard Funk

What strikes me about Nolan Gerard Funk is the gap between his toolkit and his roles. Here's a Vancouver-born triple threat who carried Conrad Birdie in a Broadway revival, yet on screen he's mostly cast as the smug antagonist in Glee and Awkward. I read that not as typecasting but as discipline: an actor willing to bury his obvious charm to serve a story. That kind of self-effacing craft rarely gets headlines, but it's exactly what makes an ensemble work. I'd happily watch him swing back to a leading-man role someday and remind everyone he can sing.
