My Take
Ted Levine is the kind of actor I cheer for quietly, because he disappears so completely into his roles. His Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most unnerving screen performances I know, yet the same man played the warm, exasperated Captain Stottlemeyer across years of Monk. That range, villain to everyman, is exactly what character acting should be. He never collected the flashy awards, but he changes the temperature of every scene he enters. To me, performers like Levine, who anchor a film without demanding the spotlight, deserve the loudest hidden applause.
