My Take
Sharon Lawrence is one of those actors whose reliability is its own kind of stardom. As Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue she anchored scenes without ever overplaying them, and three Emmy nominations confirm what viewers already felt. What draws me in is her theatre foundation, trained at UNC Chapel Hill, you can hear it in her control and presence. She belongs to the unflashy school of performers who simply make every project sharper for being in it. I have a real soft spot for actors with that kind of grounded, durable craft, and her long career speaks for itself.
