Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Simon Baker. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
I absolutely love Something New so I'm going with that for my pic.
Plus: Sons of Anarchy and the return of NCIS.
To call this show derivative is almost so obvious as to be tacit.
Also: See James Van Der Beek's "Vandermemes" follow-up, "Asshole For Hire." Here's what everyone will be watching today.
Some make it and some break it, but either way there is currently a strong crop of Aussie stars making a big impact on US television and doing their home country proud!
I first saw him in the guardian many years ago. Great acting as a rich and successful lawyer with drug problem and kind of sex addiction.
And now, we see him as the mentalist, a mind player, once a family guy, but now his wife and child are murdered. I love the way he handles the rich people, the way he tricks and questions them. Given his previous role in the guardian, it's a great contradiction, but also showing that he is a very successful and a good actor.
I wish that he always stays as charming as he is now.
Before watching the mentalist . simon was just another average actor to me , that good looking kind of guys who do just like all the others out there . Now in the Mentalist Simon gives us a unique performance , light , funny , ironic , sarcastic .. yet he can show his feelings when it comes to the emotional scenes . even though it's not good to make a one man show as he's the center of everything and he solves all the cases in the show but he really deserves that and you feel like you wanna see him in every shoot . his manipulation for good cause makes it very funny . go simon ... you rock
I fell in love with Simon Baker when he appeared in the series "The Guardian". Great acting but really depressed and troubled character. Now that he is playing Patrick Jane the shining personality, smile, beautiful eyes and great humor all abound in his character. Love his part and love to just watch him.
I noticed on the first show this week that Simon is or is trying to wear the new style facial hair beard/mustache look. Not for Patrick Jane. Only makes him look like he has a dirty face. Please see if Patrick Jane will have a change of mind and shave off the dirty face. He is much too gorgeous to hide any of his face. He is definately the clean cut look type of guy. Lets keep it that way.
I have watched him in a few films; devestatingly charming and funny in Something New, funny and sexy in Sex and Death 101 and also in Ride with the Devil, Sunset Strip and Affair of the Necklace. He was also terrific in The Guardian (shown in the early 2000s on TV). But he really is tailor made to play Patrick Jane in The Mentalist. You just cannot imagine anyone else playing this role. A show with a great ensemble cast, but is really is Simon Baker's show. There is something of the "old Hollywood" about him. Definitely one to watch.
Simon Baker is such an amazing good actor!
One of the main reasons why I got into the mentalist is because of Simon.
I absolutly love how he plays the charming, cute & a litlle arrogant Patrick Jane!
He plays a very convincing part as Patrick Jane!There's nobody who can do it better.
I absolutly love his storyline, It's so sad how he lost his wife & daughter. He really cares about them. I hope he finds who killed them.
I love his witty comments on people and his humor. & the tension between him and Lisbon
So as long as he's on the show I'll never stop watching! xD
