Trevor Eve

Trevor Eve is the kind of actor British television quietly relies on. From his breakout in Shoestring to the brooding intensity of Waking the Dead, he built a career on commanding presence rather than flash. What impresses me most is the theatrical backbone underneath, evidenced by two Olivier Awards, which tells me the screen work rests on real stagecraft. I also find it rather lovely that his daughter Alice Eve carried the craft forward. Eve never seems desperate for the spotlight; he simply inhabits a role and lets the gravity do the work, which is harder than it looks.
