My Take
What I treasure about Raul Julia is the dignity he brought to everything, from the Public Theater stage to broad comedy. Classical stage training gave him a voice and bearing that made even outlandish characters feel fully human; he could be flamboyant without ever being cheap. The cascade of honors around his final years — Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild — reads to me like an industry's apology for losing him too soon. He was also a genuine humanitarian, which colors how I watch his performances now: the generosity on screen was not an act. Puerto Rico has produced many fine actors; he remains the benchmark.
