My Take
Tom Conti is my favorite kind of actor: the one whose reputation is built on stagecraft rather than celebrity. A Tony for Best Actor in 1979, a Laurence Olivier Award, and decades of film work form the profile of a performer trusted on both sides of the Atlantic. What I admire even more is the breadth, because he writes, he directs theatre, and he keeps working past eighty. There is a craftsman's stubbornness in this Paisley-born Scot, a refusal to coast on past glories. When I want a masterclass in understated, intelligent acting, Conti is one of the first names I reach for.
