Suzy Nakamura

Suzy Nakamura is the kind of performer I find myself rooting for, the reliable, scene-sharpening presence who makes everyone around her better. Her run of guest spots on shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and How I Met Your Mother, plus that recurring West Wing role, marks her as a working actor's actor. Her improv background surely sharpens her timing. As a Japanese American talent who came up through Chicago's theater scene before Hollywood, she's also part of a slow, important broadening of who gets to be on screen. I value character actors far more than the spotlight usually allows, and she's a fine example.
