Are you watching The Mentalist? I want to devour Simon Baker whole. YUM.

[winterspel]

Hee, you must've missed my earlier post mentioning my enjoyment of the first two eps of The Mentalist! I've loved Simon Baker for a long time, and while his new drama is silly, it's overflowing with Simon goodness, so I am well-satisfied. :) You've seen some of his earlier roles, yes?

[darkeyedwolf]

Damn! I even tried to quickfind "mentalist" on your recent entries in case I missed it! You're a sneaky one.

You've seen some of his earlier roles, yes?

TM is my first, actually. *__*

Someday you're going to have to watch The Guardian. Three seasons of Simon Baker as a misanthropic, deeply unlikable and yet utterly magnetic former coke-head lawyer forced to do legal community service (acting as a court-appointed legal guardian for children) as a condition of his parole.

Some of his film roles are delicious, too. :)

*dies* I think you may be onto something there! He's probably not as perfectly beautifully good-looking as Jaime should be, what with Simon's lovely squinty eyes and weathered skin, but that's only because he's aging so delightfully, just like I hope Jaime gets the chance to age (DO YOU HEAR THAT GRRM???) but you're absolutely spot-on with the curls and the smirks and the angsting-gifts. As an actor he does amazing things with his face and with his eyes, where in a second he can shift into something troubled, or he can twinkle beautifully, or out-grin the grinniest, or be utterly, perfectly devastated. And he does a marvelous blank-face to hide all his conflicted emotions, just like Jaime often does (SB employed that blank face so often throughout The Guardian years that the rare times he smiled would almost blind me!).

[winterspel]

You're right, actually - Jaime's been through quite a bit of horror and stress, so his youthful beauty definitely would have faded somewhat (not to mention that soldiers don't get to have dewy complexions, now do they?)

I want a DVD of The Guardian, too!

Thank you very much for these great screencaps!!

But THE HAIR OF DOOM!!!!

[winterspel]

Awww, his hair isn't that bad, is it? All disheveled surfer-curls, hee! :) You're very welcome for the screencaps. I tried to watch the second episode and my goodness, it was baaaaaaad. Just. Ouch. I'm looking forward to next weeks episode of The Mentalist to give me an SB character I can actually enjoy.
