My Take
Perry King reads to me as the consummate working actor of American television's golden era. A small-town Ohio boy 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. The cheeky name of his website, absolutelyperryking, hints at a self-aware charm. I have a soft spot for durable, unpretentious talents like him.
