This is a very talented actor.....not only talented but very good looking and makes his character believable hide show
Men in Trees is my favorite new show. I cannot believe I had never seen James Tupper before in anything. He makes the show well worth watching. Not only is he terribly good looking, his voice is fabulous. If he would do an audible novel I would buy it even if I wasn't interested in the story line. I can only hope there are more people like me who is scared the show will be taken off and I will be terribly disappointed. I wish I could buy every episode so far. I think I would watch Men In Trees even if he wasn't on it because I do enjoy everyone but, oh, goodness, it would be not be near as interesting without him.
