Tony Shalhoub is simply one of the best actors on TV today, and in television history. In all the movies and shows he has played in he usually has a different personality. And in all the performances he does he masters them all. In Wings he was the classic Antonio he was hysterical. He now plays in Monk where I realized how great an actor he is. Not everyone can act like they have a terrible case of OCD and still be hilarious. He brings joy to TV when he acts its almost as if he isn't acting at all. He's the one and only ''Monk''

Tony is such a great actor he does a really really realy great job as Mr. Monk! He plays his characters with such grace and you actually believe that he is the person that he is playing and you get like lost in the show! He is just such a great actor and i would like to see him in more things. But every time i see him i dont think Tony i think the germ conpulsive monk which is the only problem. So when i see him on another tv show i just think Monk but when its not i am alittle dissapointed.

Monk was one of the first shows on USA that really put this network on the map, and set the trend for other great shows such as Psych and Burn Notice. Tony Shalhoub gives a driven and charasmatic preformance as the main character, and every episode suprises me and keeps me watching until the credits. No doubt a talented actor, Shalhoub is surely one of the best actors to come onto the big screen, and the winner of 3 Emmys! But anyway, if you have not yet caught this show, you are deffinetly missing out on a great story and a wonderful preformance.

My first exposure to this great actor was probably when I watched Wings. I was kid though and I did not know who he was. Not until I started watching Monk that I recognized him and seen how truly a great actor he is. He has shown a great deal of emotion and comedic range when playing different roles. His accents also cover his American accent from his role as Antonio Scarpacci, an Italian cab driver on Wings to an Middle Eastern FBI Agent on The Siege. Playing the part of Antonio Scarpacci on Wings brought him exposure to people and also landed him roles in Hollywood movies. Such as big budget action movies like The Siege to independent movies like Big Night. One of his most recognizable roles in movies is probably the fast talking lawyer Freddy Riedenshnieder in The Man Who Wasn't There. All of this contributed to him getting the role of a life time on the hit tv show Monk, starring him as Adrian Monk. The show is about former detective Adrian Monk who worked for the San Francsico Homicide police department. His obsessive compulsive disorder contributed to his firing, but also his breakdown after his wife was murdered. His portrayal of the former detective has won him many awards. He has won three Emmys, two SAGs, and one Golden Globe for this. i have no doubt that Tony Shalhoub will go down as one of the greatest actors of all time.
