My Take
Tamara Taylor is one of those actors who sneaks up on you — you tune into Bones expecting a procedural and end up completely hooked on her portrayal of Dr. Camille Saroyan, the sharp, no-nonsense forensics chief who somehow holds the whole eccentric lab together. She brought genuine warmth and authority to a role that could easily have been just "the boss," and did it for twelve seasons without ever feeling stale. The Toronto girl making it big in American television is a story in itself, and honestly she never got enough award recognition for how consistently good she was. Her turn as a villain in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. showed real range — unsettling in a way you wouldn't expect from someone you spent years rooting for.
