My Take
For me Robert Hays will always be Ted Striker, the dead-pan pilot from Airplane! whose flat seriousness made the absurdity land perfectly. I find that kind of comic discipline far harder than it looks, and Hays made it seem effortless. A Maryland-born journeyman who came up through the sitcom Angie and worked steadily across film, TV and voice acting since the 1970s, he never chased flash. I respect performers who can carry a laugh with a single expression, and that longevity speaks to genuine craft rather than luck. He is the quietly reliable kind of actor I always root for.
