My Take
Zak Orth is exactly the sort of actor I cherish: the dependable character player whose face you recognize instantly even when his name escapes you. Born in 1970 in Libertyville, Illinois, and trained at DePaul University, he has dotted comedies and dramas like Wet Hot American Summer, The Baxter, and Music and Lyrics with sharp, unfussy supporting turns, then anchored real weight as Aaron in NBC's Revolution. These are the craftsmen who hold scenes together so the leads can soar. I will always take a great supporting actor over a hollow star, and Orth is a fine example of that quiet trade.
