My Take
W. Earl Brown is the first name that comes to mind when I think of a truly great character actor. From Golden Pond, Kentucky, to DePaul's drama program, he built a career on making the world around the leads feel real, whether as lovable Warren in There's Something About Mary or the grizzled Dan Dority in Deadwood. But his motion-capture work as Bill in The Last of Us is what truly floored me, an emotional gut-punch hidden inside a video game. He also writes and makes music, and I deeply respect that kind of journeyman versatility.
