My Take
Sebastian Koch is exactly the actor I gravitate toward. His turn in The Lives of Others, the 2007 Academy Award winner, is the kind of restrained, intelligent work that sticks with you, and he carried that same gravity into Spielberg's Bridge of Spies and his Homeland role as Otto Düring. Stage, film, television, he moves across all of them without chasing fame. I love performers who let the role do the talking instead of the celebrity machine. Two Bavarian TV Awards on the German side, real international credits abroad, that is a craftsman, not a personality.
