My Take
What grabs me about Tony Dalton is how late, and how completely, he arrived in the American consciousness. He spent years grinding through Mexican film, television and stage before Lalo Salamanca made him a household menace, and that long apprenticeship is exactly why his villainy feels so lived-in and unforced. The charm and the danger sit on the same face, never one without the other. The fact that he also writes tells me he understands character from the inside out. I find him one of the most quietly fascinating character actors working, and I suspect his richest roles are still ahead of him.
