My Take
Thomas Sadoski is the kind of actor I quietly root for. Television gave him recognition as Don Keefer in The Newsroom and Matt Short in Life in Pieces, but his roots are on the stage, and that Lucille Lortel Award tells you where his craft was forged. He rarely plays the flashy lead; instead he grounds a scene, lending it weight and authenticity. To me, performers like him are the connective tissue of good drama, the ones who keep a story honest. A New Haven native with theater discipline at his core, he earns my respect the unglamorous way: by being dependable.
