Rachel Blanchard

What strikes me about Rachel Blanchard is how quietly versatile she is. I knew her first as the bone-dry Nancy in Peep Show, then realized the same actress played warmer roles in You Me Her and The Summer I Turned Pretty. That range across British comedy and American drama tells me she's a working actor's actor rather than a tabloid magnet, and I respect that. She keeps her personal life almost entirely private, which I find refreshing. A Toronto native who studied at Queen's University, she reads to me as someone who treats the craft as a job done well, not a brand to broadcast.
