Here's a place to talk about Peter on Numb3rs and our favorite astrophysicist, Larry Fleinhardt.
There's a special extended trailer for season 6, Peter is in it very briefly at the beginning. He plays presidential advisor, Thomas Lennox. The new season will have a two-day, four-hour premiere, Sun. Jan. 14 and Mon. Jan. 15, 8 - 10pm. http://www.24trailer.com
I wanted to point out that there are many things on Peter's page that came from my website, Peter MacNicol Online. The photo that's at the top of the page and on the pages for Peter's other shows came from my homepage. The bulk of the trivia section and quotes were taken from other pages on my… More site. I did not post them here and I did not give my permission to have them posted on TV.com. Deb webmaster, Peter MacNicol Online http://www.petermacnicolonline.com
The Boston Legal season 2 DVD came out on Tuesday, Nov. 21. It includes "Race Ipsa," the episode Peter guest starred on as Denny Crane's therapist, Dr. Sydney Fields. If you didn't get to see it when it aired in April, here's your chance. Peter was wonderful -- just give him some David Kelley… More material and sit back and enjoy the ride.

I select the classification only because I think that the show Numb3rs doesnt use him nearly enough as they should and one day I could see myself watching a new show simply because Peter is in it. I know Peter from "Numb3rs" and "24", so I will review each of his acting performances seperatly.
Numb3rs- Its going to be the peak and highlight of his life. He plays this part to such perfection, both as a math professor and as a mentor to Charlie. So many times it is things that Peters character says that finnaly brings Charlie to the conclusion that he was looking for. Peter works wonders with the things he has to say in this show, mimicking Hugh Lauries performance in House, just with numbers in this show.
24- Not the bets fit, but still a decent one. Most of the scenes with Peters character consulting the president I felt that he did a good job on, but the torture scenes during one part of the season I thought he did simply an average job. Numb3rs is his calling card, but 24 was a decent performance.
Numb3rs - 10/10
24 - 9.2 / 10
Oh....my.....god....Larry is my favorite character on the show. i'm not a fanboy or anything but he is hilarious. he has a great sence of humor and when he inflects it with political humor he rocks the screen. my favorite quote of him is..."hanging steadfastly to one prospect despite all evidence to the contrary....that's not science. that's politics. is is clever sayings like these plus the apparently spur of the moment mathematical inspiration make him my favorite character on the show. I also like him because during the show, when all is going wrong, he never loses his cool. I would love to be like larry when i grow up
