My Take
Tom McGowan earns my respect as a stage-bred actor first. Earning a Tony nomination for his Broadway debut in La Bete is no small thing, and it tells me his screen work rests on a deep theatrical foundation. You spot his face across television and film, but the real engine is the craft he sharpened on the boards, later confirmed when he was chosen to play the Wizard in Wicked. I am drawn to actors like this, the ones who carry the weight of live theater into the camera and suddenly fill a scene. From Hofstra to Broadway, his is a quietly substantial career.
