Paul Reiser

Paul Reiser is, to me, one of the great quiet craftsmen of American comedy. Plenty of comedians peak with a sitcom and fade; Reiser parlayed the observational warmth of Mad About You into a remarkable second act, stealing scenes in Whiplash with unsettling ease. What I respect is the range hiding under that easygoing delivery — he writes books, composes music, and still works a stage. The Stuyvesant-educated New Yorker in him shows: every line lands with timing that feels effortless because decades of discipline sit behind it. He is living proof that likability and intelligence are not opposites.
