My Take
Steven Weber is one of those actors I always recognize but can never quite place, and that's a compliment to his range. Most people remember him as Brian on Wings, but I think his best work is darker, like his unsettling turn in Stephen King's The Shining miniseries. He's a steady character actor who elevates whatever he's in, slipping easily between comedy and menace. He's also sharp and outspoken online, which I find refreshing. A reliable working actor who never seems to phone it in, even decades into the business.
