My Take

Rupert Penry-Jones is one of those British actors who can carry an entire series on poise alone. Born in London in 1970, he became a fixture of smart UK television, from Adam Carter in Spooks to Clive Reader in Silk and DI Joseph Chandler in the eerie Whitechapel. His Ian Charleson Award nod points to serious stage roots underneath the screen polish. I always enjoy how he plays tightly wound, controlled men whose composure hints at something fraying beneath. His turn as Mr. Quinlan in The Strain showed he could go fully genre too. He's a reliably classy presence in everything he touches.
