Rich Sommer

Rich Sommer is the kind of actor I quietly root for. As Harry Crane on Mad Men he was never the flashiest figure in the room, but he gave that ensemble its texture and earned two SAG Awards for it. An Ohio kid who trained at Case Western, he moves between stage, film, voice work and even blogging with an easy versatility. I value performers who make everyone around them better rather than chasing the spotlight. There is real skill in being the dependable presence that holds a scene together, and Sommer has it in spades.
