In the history of film, Tony Shalhoub is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Tony Shalhoub as American actor (born 1953).
Tony Shalhoub was born in 1953. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at Yale School of Drama and University of Maine.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as film director, dub actor and film producer.
The work that carried his reputation furthest concerned variety of roles ranging from comedic to dramatic on stage and screen. The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Golden Globe Awards, Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (2019) and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (2003).
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Tony Shalhoub is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
