My Take
Scott Grimes is one of those quietly essential guys Hollywood keeps rediscovering, and honestly I'm here for it every single time. He grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts, got his start as a kid actor in the late '80s — most memorably in Critters — and then quietly built one of the more eclectic resumes in the business: ER, Band of Brothers, American Dad as a voice, and then The Orville, where he absolutely found his groove playing helmsman Gordon Malloy with perfect deadpan comic timing across the full run from 2017 to 2022. What I genuinely love about him is that he's also a real singer, not a celebrity-dabbling-in-music situation, but someone who can actually hold a note and has put out records. He's never been a household name in the tabloid sense, and that's almost the point — he just quietly does excellent work, show after show, and fans who know, know.
