My Take
Royal Dano is the sort of character actor I always root for. Across a 46-year career he gave Westerns and dramas their backbone, specializing in cowboys and villains while becoming an unforgettable Abraham Lincoln, even voicing Disney's Audio-Animatronic Lincoln. That last credit alone is a quiet kind of immortality. He never had leading-man glamour, but he had a face and voice that commanded the frame the instant he appeared. Those textured, lived-in performers are the connective tissue of great cinema. Dano passed in 1994, yet his single-minded commitment to craft keeps his work worth seeking out.
