That's so true. Deakins and Bobby didn't always agree. But Deakins knew the fun, quirky Bobby. Ross has only known the angsty, unstable Bobby. So, on top of just basic personality differences between Ross and Deakins, Bobby himself is different.

I will be so happy when they get the seasons started again. I am the absolute worst at waiting and I HATE being in limbo. I can't wait for more to come down the pike. Even some of the casting calls would be interesting at this point.

You are not alone. I feel as mad (ie crazy) as a bag of frogs.

Dusting the cobwebs off this thread just because I like Ross so much. Rocketman was definately one of my least favorite episodes, but I did love the "so am I, so are you" comments between Goren and Ross.



And BTW, where has Lozzie been?

It would be nice if they let EB actually come up with some of Ross's lines. He has such a wry sense of humor it would be good for the show if he did. Maybe he could use it on the phone with some mysterious caller.

Maybe a mysterious M.E.?

ok to help the bump cause yes maybe .

Or someone else. He's not exactly committed to just her is he? He could be playing the field. Or it could be something that gives rise to speculation as to who he's talking to. A running background story maybe?

Like the Chief of D's checking up on the "whack job"?

Or them leading the Chief on because he's snooping? Making him believe there's more going on than he knows? Or is that too juvenile for CI?

I would like to see Ross acting juvenile. Especially in defense of Bobby!

Bump

Come with me Danny. Lets go back to the top, OK?

I can't have my Danny hiding in page 3.
I can't wait to see him in June!

Danny Ross is my hero!

I'm eager for new shows too. Come on June. Actually we'll see him sooner than that. He and Logan will be on SVU soon. They'll be doing a guest spot before CI comes back on. He's also going to be on an episode of Third Watch on April 23rd. The Self Importance of Being Carlos, the episode is called. He plays a lieutenant, I believe.

Has anyone seen him on stage? I'd love to hear their impressions of him. I've seen some of it on Youtube, but it's short and takes forever to load at home. Do you look at him and see Bogosian or Ross?

I saw him on an ep of the mothership. He played a lawyer. I really hated that guy.

I also saw him on an ep of scrubs playing a psychologist. I loved that guy. He was hilarious.

I'm gathering a collection of his works. I have Talk Radio, recorded Charlies Angels Full Throttle, will record Blonde on Lifetime friday at 12pm EST, Delores Claiborne, King of the Corner, Wonderland, and others that I can't pull up from memory right now. And I've seen Igby Goes Down. Some of them are just bit parts, some more substantial, but they all show sides of him that are interesting. My favorite is still CI. I'm hooked, I guess. He has a much more impressive acting presence now than he's ever had. So good looking.

Oohhh, I have not seen EB on the mothership. I saw the actor who plays Lupo (I can't believe I just forgot his real name) playing a lawyer in L&O. He was wearing a beard and looked a little heavier. I also saw "Carver" in the mothership. Very strange.

I saw EB this morning on Third Watch. He was playing a Lt. Lewis and he could have been and early Ross. He acted so much the same except he had a full beard. I kept thinking it was him on CI as Ross.

Happy Birthday to Eric Bogosian! He turned 55 today!

Happy birthday, Eric. I watched a Logan episode just to see Captain Ross tonight. I have it bad. The man sure carries his years well, I think. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

He was darned good in the movie Blonde. He played a photographer with a sarcastic wit and a jaded view of life. It was shortly before he joined CI and you could see pieces of Ross poking through and pieces of his stage persona. It was very interesting. Has anyone else seen it?

Have not seen it, but will soon.
I watched last night an old episode of Law & Order I recorded the other day. Eric B plays an attorney. He looks very good too! I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

As much as we see of him and elements of Ross in EB's performances, how much influence do you think he had in Ross's character development? Could they have asked for his opinions on how he'd play the part? It's not like he's exactly an untried starlet.

Ekkk... Danny and Alex, Danny and Alex. Alright sorry people. Danny is one hunk of a fifty year old. He's smoking hot... ::blushes::

Bump

The rumor was that Capt. Ross would appear on a L&O SVU episode? does anybody know when?
I miss Danny!!!!!!! 5 more weeks to June 8.

I wouldn't mind hearing that myself. I heard that on the SVU site then that it wasn't going to happen. I'd like to know where that came from. No explanations for either decision. What a bum deal. Detectives, we need to solve this case. Everybody into Ross's office, NOW! Ha, ha.

I like Ross. I just thought I would drop in and mention it.

I'm glad you did.

Bumpity, bump, bump.

We're down to a matter of days now rather than months. Yippee! Even if the first one is Logan and ? I don't care. It's less than 30 days. And the fact that VDO is ready to re-up for more CI looks promising to me. We've been patient, we deserve more episodes. I almost feel sorry for the SVU people. We have a whole bunch of new episodes to look forward to, more than they had to look forward to.

I'm s

I just thought Danny had been on the 2nd page long enough. I'm looking forward to seeing how he and Logan react to Wheeler's return. And to seeing how Ross and Goren interact after the whole Tates escapade. And, of course, I want to know--is Rodgers mad about getting stood up?

And how would he make it up to her? Is she understanding or ready to kick him to the curb? It will be interesting. I hope they actually show something of it and not just let it rest. Even a little bit.

I can't wait to see ross and Logan on SVU. I hope that they get mroe than a few lines, unlike the time that Briscoe and Green whoed up (Poison)

I remember when I got the Season 1 DVDs and saw their names on there as guest stars. Then I was so disappointed that they were only in one scene and just a couple of lines.
Do we know for sure that Logan and Ross are going to be on SVU? I've heard yes, then no. Isn't SVU done for the season? Oh wait, the one with Casey leaving is the last one isn't it? Did I miss it, or is it on this week.

The season finale is on NBC tonight. I never did find out where the rumor about started about them being on it came from. It's one of those things. I'm glad you like Ross too.

I bought a copy of his Wake Up and Smell the Coffee DVD. That was amazing. I see why so many people were surprised and pleased by his coming to CI. It was funny this was recorded in 2002 and one of his first lines was "This is a boat and I'm your Captain" Oh, man that was an surprise. Does he have any other ones on DVD that anyone has heard of? It also makes it easy to read his books. I didn't get the format until I saw this. "I'm your Captain." What a hoot. (Forshadows of things to come.)

Where would you take the relationship between Ross and Rodgers if you could? Would you use it to add a bit of humor to CI or leave it serious or just a friendship? I'd put some humor in the show, just some. That is seriously missing in the show. Even SVU has some humor from Munch now and again, though that's lacking there too recently. Humor helps the viewership go up as well.

I would like to just see tidbits like we have so far, and funny is always good. Maybe in season 9 or 10 (I hope, I hope!) we could hear mention of a wedding (sorry, that's the romantic in me). I don't want to see it the focus or see any dramatic breakup or anything. I would love to see shots of G/E and L/W reacting to little looks or comments (like in Depths).

That would be funny. I can just imagine some of the comments. It would be great if they did the show like ITWSH with both teams and Logan and Goren trade comments about the goings on between Ross and Rodgers. Too much Fan Fiction, I guess.

I didn't like him in the beginning but he is getting better.

I just read an interview with EB and he said he had started to relax into the part now and I think that's coming out in the show. He was pretty rigid at first, I agree, but he's doing better now. Much more supportive of them and that's good to see. Maybe having the Chief of D's be a protagonist (sp) for them all to defend against will bring the whole squad together. At least that's my hope. I'm looking forward to more of this season. They've had time to take a deep breath and let's get this going!

I like EB as Danny. I am looking forward to seeing him soon.
I think it was normal that he was rigid at first. That would also happen to the character.

I think Laura San Giacomo said it best on the movie Quigley Down Under when she looked at Tom Selleck and said "It is common for things to not go well at first." Se was playing a character called Crazy Cora. You'd have to see the movie to get it in it's true context.

OOpps Sorry I dropped my bowling ball
