Tobias Menzies

Tobias Menzies is one of those actors who makes you feel genuinely bad for whoever he's playing opposite — and I mean that as the highest compliment. I first clocked him as the irredeemably cruel Black Jack Randall in Outlander, where he was so convincingly menacing it was almost uncomfortable to watch, and then he turned around and delivered a completely different kind of cold authority as Prince Philip in The Crown seasons three and four, earning a well-deserved Emmy for it. What strikes me most about Menzies is how little he relies on surface charm; he builds characters from the inside out, and you feel the weight of every scene he's in. Trained in classical theatre and deeply committed to the work, he's the kind of quietly essential actor that raises the quality of any production lucky enough to cast him.
