Rob Morrow

Rob Morrow's Joel Fleischman is one of the great fish-out-of-water TV characters: the neurotic New York doctor stranded in tiny Cicely, Alaska, forever exasperated by its eccentric residents. Northern Exposure was a strange, literate, soulful show, and Morrow's prickly charm was the audience's way in. Years later he reinvented himself as the grounded FBI agent brother on Numb3rs, trading neurosis for steady gravitas. I always thought he was a sharper, more idiosyncratic actor than the leading-man system quite knew what to do with. The fact that he directs and writes too tells you he was never content just hitting his marks.
