My Take
Vincent Kartheiser earns my lasting respect for doing the hardest thing in television: making audiences loathe him on purpose, for eight straight years, without ever winking at the camera. Pete Campbell could have been a one-note weasel, but Kartheiser threaded genuine sadness and ambition through every smirk, and the 2009 SAG ensemble award reflects how essential he was to Mad Men's chemistry. I also admire his taste for thorny roles, from Connor in Angel to Dr. Crane in Titans. He is a character actor in the truest sense, one who serves the story rather than his own vanity, and that discipline is rarer than stardom.
