My Take

Oliver Platt is my favorite kind of actor: the one critics call a character actor and I would call load-bearing. Five Emmy nominations, plus Golden Globe, SAG, and Tony nods, tell you the industry knows it too, yet he has never seemed to chase stardom, which may be exactly why he is so good. Windsor-born, Tufts-educated, and equally at home on stage and screen, Platt brings intelligence and sly comic timing to every role, making leads look better simply by sharing scenes with them. Movies and shows feel sturdier when he is in the cast. That quiet indispensability is, to me, the highest compliment in this profession.

Overview

Oliver Platt (born January 12, 1960) is an American actor known for his work on stage and screen. He has been nominated for five Primetime Emmys, a Golden Globe Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and one Tony Award.
