Robert Wisdom

Robert Wisdom is the kind of actor who makes everyone around him better. A Columbia-educated performer from Washington, D.C., he specialized in characters of moral complexity, Bunny Colvin in The Wire and Lechero in Prison Break among them, roles that demand authority without showboating. His NAACP Image Award feels earned by accumulation rather than a single splashy turn. I admire actors who tighten a scene the instant they walk on, and Wisdom does exactly that. He is proof that the supporting bench often holds the most interesting careers in the business.
