My Take

Sakina Jaffrey is one of those performers I think gets undervalued precisely because she's so reliable. As Linda Vasquez in House of Cards, she held her own in a room full of scenery-chewers by playing it cool and precise, which is far harder than it looks. I appreciate that she trained at Vassar and clearly treats acting as craft rather than spectacle. Whether it's the political machinery of House of Cards or the time-jumping ensemble of Timeless, she brings a grounded intelligence I trust on screen. She's the kind of actress who quietly raises the level of everyone around her.
