My Take
Scott Krinsky is the kind of character actor I quietly root for, the face you recognize long before you recall the name. As Jeff on Chuck and Darryl on The O.C., he supplied the offbeat texture that makes an ensemble feel lived-in. I find it telling that he studied broadcast journalism before acting; there's a deliberateness to his comic timing that suggests craft, not accident. Leading roles get the headlines, but it's reliable comic players like him who keep a show's tone loose and warm. He's a small but genuine pleasure, and I think that's an underrated thing to be.
