My Take
Sean Gunn is the kind of actor I quietly root for: the guy who makes you smile the second he appears. As Kirk on Gilmore Girls he was a small-town comic engine, and as Kraglin in the Marvel films he gave a bit player a real emotional spine. A St. Louis kid trained at DePaul, he built his career on craft rather than leading-man wattage, and even with brother James Gunn in the business he carved out something unmistakably his own. I have deep respect for performers who can steal a scene from the margins, and he does it again and again.
