Robert Donner

Robert Donner is the kind of actor I find quietly fascinating. A New York-born character performer who worked steadily across television and film from the 1950s until his death in 2006, he likely belongs to that essential class of supporting players whose faces you recognize instantly even when the name escapes you. I have a soft spot for these dependable craftsmen who never chased the spotlight but made countless scenes land. They are the connective tissue of an industry, and Donner strikes me as exactly that sort of reliable presence worth remembering.
