My Take
Roger Allam is the kind of actor I rate most: stage-forged, voice-first, never showy. Three Olivier Awards and the original London Javert in Les Miserables tell you about the craft, but it's the range that wins me over. The same man who anchored the radio comedy Cabin Pressure with dry timing also gave Endeavour a warm, paternal gravity as DCI Fred Thursday. He doesn't chase the spotlight; he occupies the center of a scene by sheer authority. For me he embodies a very British ideal of acting where character always outranks ego, and that quiet mastery is exactly what makes him endlessly watchable.
