My Take
Reg E. Cathey had one of those voices I could pick out of any crowd: low, gravelly, and somehow both warm and dangerous. I first really noticed him as Norman Wilson in The Wire, but it was Freddy the rib-joint owner in House of Cards that won him a deserved Emmy in 2015. What strikes me is the range hiding behind that signature delivery, since the same man taught kids math on Square One Television years earlier. Character actors like him rarely get top billing, yet they're the glue that makes a scene feel real. Losing him in 2018 felt like the screen got quieter.
