My Take
What I admire about Topher Grace is how deliberately he stepped away from the easy path. After That '70s Show made him a household face, he could have coasted on affable sitcom roles forever; instead he chased darker, stranger material, from Traffic to playing Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3. He strikes me as an actor who treats his career the way an editor treats a draft, constantly cutting whatever feels too comfortable. He may never be the loudest name on a cast list, but directors keep calling because he makes everyone around him look better, and that quiet reliability ages beautifully.
