    Poor William Fichtner is always on these lists.

    Vincent Schiavelli’s absence negates the quality of this list.

    Some of them I would also venture as good actors and others I’ve never seen.

    William Fichtner is always on these lists because his name always calls to mind “sphincter,” a word people are reluctant to embrace.

    But James Cromwell? He is so not That Guy.
