I was looking at the Emmy nominations, specifically for Barry and got to thinking about Stephen Root. I think he might be my favorite character actor. He shows up in everything and absolutely steals the scenes every time. He can play the most normal people and the most outlandish characters and he knocks it out of the park every time. He's a chameleon.
Saw him in MIB3 and enjoyed it, then basically forgot about him until I saw him in Your Honor and loved it. Now I've spotted him in quite a few other things too.
I need to start paying more attention to character actors. Michael Stuhlbarg is really the first one I've paid any attention to, so I'll be taking notes from this thread and setting myself some homework 🙂
