My Take
Huss is the platonic ideal of the character actor whose face and voice you know instantly even if his name escapes you. As the voices of Cotton Hill and Dale Gribble on King of the Hill, he is responsible for some of the most quotable, weirdly specific comedy in animation history. But it is his live-action work, especially the soulful, scene-stealing John Bosworth on Halt and Catch Fire, that proves his real depth as a dramatic performer. He brings this lived-in, slightly off-kilter authenticity to everything he touches. I genuinely perk up whenever he turns up in a cast; he never phones it in.
