Perry King

Perry King reads to me as the consummate working actor of American television's golden era. An Ohio native from Alliance who trained at Yale, he earned a Golden Globe nomination yet never chased fame for its own sake. What I appreciate is his range behind the camera too, directing and producing rather than coasting on a handsome face. There is a craftsman's modesty in a career like this, built on showing up and delivering decade after decade. I have a soft spot for durable, unpretentious talents like him.
