My Take
Richard Masur is the reliable face I've seen in dozens of movies without ever quite cataloguing them all, which is the highest compliment for a character actor. Over forty films, plus Clark in The Thing and the grown-up Stan in the 1990 It miniseries that still haunts me. What I find genuinely admirable, though, is the off-screen chapter: two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1995 to 1999. That tells me he cared about the working actors around him, not just his own resume. A New Yorker who balanced craft with advocacy is exactly the kind of veteran I respect.
