Salli Richardson

Salli Richardson is someone I associate with steady, intelligent screen work rather than flash. Her turn as Dr. Allison Blake on Eureka ran six seasons, and that role really showed her range across a long arc, plus there's her earlier film work in A Low Down Dirty Shame. What I find most encouraging is the pivot to directing television; actors who move into the chair tend to bring a real feel for performance, and I suspect she's no exception. Chicago-raised, with the University of Chicago Lab Schools in her background, she reads to me as a grounded, craft-first talent who built a durable career.
