Sean Murray

I've got a soft spot for Sean Murray because he pulled off something genuinely difficult: playing the "tech nerd" character on a long-running procedural without ever becoming a punchline. McGee on NCIS started out as the butt of DiNozzo's jokes, and Murray leaned into that vulnerability just enough to make it endearing rather than pathetic. Over two-plus decades on that show, he quietly grew the character from rookie punching bag to a fully-realized agent and father — and the audience grew with him. Most people remember him first from Hocus Pocus as the kid who gets turned into a cat, which is a pretty iconic bit of Halloween nostalgia from 1993. That range — from Disney spooky kid to CBS procedural anchor — says something real about his staying power. He's not flashy, but he doesn't need to be.
