Hes not just playing an extraordinary characterhes showing us our American character, right here, right now.
First there was the attempted assassination, and then his dirty, not-so- little secrets were aired.
Only Spacey, a complete master of his craft, could make us feel for someone so abhorrent.

Dominic West
The Affair(Showtime)
Consider him TVs best tightrope walker.
As Noah Solloway, West tiptoed between being despicable (trying to cheat on Alison now?)
and being sympathetic enough that we dont want to see him in jail.
Watching him nimbly bounce through a symphony of emotions was a dizzying delight.
Rami Malek
Mr.
It was the actors glassy-eyed devastation in the graveyard scene not gotcha-style surprises that elevated the entire series.
