And here's another one! Tim O. looks so casual, I'm guessing they're rehearsing.

Lassiter's "Bad Tie Bonanza" continues.....


http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...lery/gal_15.jpg

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal02.jpg

What the hell kind of pattern is this, anyway?

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal17.jpg


I think that, by far, THE worst time I've ever seen Lassiter wear is that white one with the small multi-colored stripes in "Spelling Bee", but I can't seem to find a picture of it. Anyone care to add a pic of that particular fashion abomination?

Texasartchick

Wow! Where the hell are my fellow TIManiacs? Is everyone out on summer vacation or something? Helloooo....



Texasartchick

I was sorting through screencaps from Tim's brief appearance in '24' (2006) and decided to post a few.


Nice profile, except I want to take a razor to those sideburns


Tim's thinking about what happens to most of the '24' guest stars. Could it be ...


OH NOES!

Perfect inspiration! Thank you for posting this!!!

Oh that is too funny! He does play a great bad guy. He was pretty mean in this episode, loved it. I guess the sideburns were absolutely necessary because he was a RUSSIAN bad guy. Everyone knows Russians love the mutton chops.


Texasartchick

So the tie thing, is it suppose to go beyond the belt? Haha! I love how Lassie improves his tie choices. I hope they deck him out next season for an undercover gig or something. Jules got hers in Black and Tan with the boys, now it's Lassie's turn.

Lassiter needs a smokin' Armani suit. But then again, Tim O. Makes most suits smokin' hot merely by wearing them. Length of the tie thing....I have no clue. I don't think so but then again on my days off I wear baseball hats just so I don't have to style my hair. I choose convenience and comfort (a.k.a. being lazy) over fashion on a daily basis.

Texasartchick

It's Friday night and I'm stuck at home so
WHERE'S MY PSYCH?

Oh. Here it is.

screencaps from 'There Might Be Blood'

Yea! Screencaps from episodes I haven't seen yet. New Tim O. images for me, yeehaw! It's like Christmas in June.





Hey, Lassie's wearing a decent tie! It's actually a kind of nice one. Guess his fashion sense is getting a little better? I'm sure he still has the "$7.00 section" in his closet, though.




What the heck? How did Lassiter wind up on the floor with some chick on top of him? Somehow I'll bet it involves him being a bad-ass. Ok, now I really need to see this episode. This one and "Gus Walk Into a Bank". Looks like they both have some great Lassie moments.


Texasartchick

Just thought I'd share some more Tim O. pics to liven up the thread. These are from the USA web site photo gallery for the episode "Scarry Sherry: Bianca's Toast".

Looks like John Landis brought enough for everyone! There's Tim O. stuffing his face with whatever pastry Landis has broken out. HEY his tie isn't ugly, either:

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal29.jpg


Love Tim's smile here!

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal30.jpg

And here's one of the director's hand almost completely blocking Tim O's face. Not too much Tim but it's kind of funny nonetheless.

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal31.jpg

Enjoy!

Texasartchick

And a few more!

Here's John Landis going over lines with Tim O.

Someone asked for it... I found it!

Hey ! New to the 'posting' scene...LOL! Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this great topic. I, too, am a big fan of Tim's. Love the depth and enjoy the tidbits we get to see in every episode that reveal more and more about this mysterious guy.

BTW...I took the quiz "who would your perfect match be" or whatever it's called and got.... Lassiter, of course!!

"Hey ! New to the 'posting' scene...LOL! Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this great topic. I, too, am a big fan of Tim's. Love the depth and enjoy the tidbits we get to see in every episode that reveal more and more about this mysterious guy."

Welcome to the boards and the Tim O. thread! Yes, Lassiter truly is a great character. I think he's more complex than a lot of viewers think. He may be all gruff and tough on the outside, but inside I'll bet he's just a teddy bear. So many layers to uncover, just like a bloomin' onion. Hopefully we'll get to see the character develop more in the upcoming season. Judging by some of the spoilers I've read in the "season 4 spoiler thread", I think we'll get some of that. Looking forward to it!


Texasartchick

Tp Lassi_Girl:

Did you get all caught up on the massive amounts of posts here yet? If not, feel free to add your opinion to any of the previously discussed topics (such as the "should Lassiter have a love interest?" or "shorter or longer hair Lassie?" Heh, just like a collie..). Just because it was posted a while back doesn't mean we can't revisit it.


To Bethgreen:

Any more screencaps from "There Might Be Blood"?, or any of the other episodes I've missed? I still haven't seen any of the first half of season 3 except "Ghosts". Now I'm intrigued!


Texasartchick

Welcome!

Texasartchick wanted some Season Three screencaps, so here's a little 'Talk Derby to Me.'






(I was going to give this one some sort of a caption, but really, it speaks for itself.)

Yeah, I'll give him that one. Tim looks really hot there.

"Texasartchick wanted some Season Three screencaps, so here's a little 'Talk Derby to Me.'"

Thanks! It's much appreciated!




"(I was going to give this one some sort of a caption, but really, it speaks for itself.)"

I have the feeling that this image was immediately followed by Lassiter peeling Shawn's hand off of his person accompanied by an annoyed look.

I think I remember hearing James Roday saying something in the DVD episode commentaries about taking every opportunity to touch Tim Omundson during scenes because he knows it "really bugs him". I remember one outtake where Roday touches Tim's face during a "vision", Tim looks a bit uncomfortable and you can tell he's trying to think of some Lassiter-esque comeback. All he can come up with is, "Don't touch my face," and almost starts laughing when he says it. Classic.


Texasartchick

"Yeah, I'll give him that one. Tim looks really hot there."

He sure does! But then again, when does he not look hot? Mr. Bean rules...


Texasartchick

Hey all! Just had to report my Tim sighting from yesterday! Not in person though, darn. But I was watching Boston Legal and he was on there. He played a lawyer for the cattle industry. I honestly don't know if he won his case or not...his final arguments scene was hilarious and ended up with no one really knowing what happened, lol. He also had longer hair, it was an interesting look for him. Unfortunately I have no idea how to find or post screencaps, but it was season 4 Boston Legal, the episode was called "Indecent Proposals."

I'm back! And I love that picture^

You mean, along the lines of... "I know the super, sexy squib ((alliteration!)) is there... if only I just loosened the tie..."

"You mean, along the lines of... "I know the super, sexy squib ((alliteration!)) is there... if only I just loosened the tie..." "

You've got your Shassie glasses on today!

Hey speaking of....where is Heartbreak Princess? Away on summer vacation or something? Haven't seen princess and her dry wit around here for ages!


Texasartchick

Ok, in honor of Winky Cutto and Heartbreak Princess, here are a few pics just begging for you to make up "Shassie" captionsfor them:

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal03.jpg

Ok, there's no Lassiter in this one, but it's too damn funny. Reminds me of some of the faces James Roday is making in "the infamous kitchen fight":

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...llery/gal11.jpg

And from "Gus Walks Into A Bank":

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...lery/gal_05.jpg

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/the...lery/gal_10.jpg

I like this one because Lassiter looks PISSED. Did someone step on his favorite puppy?:

Do your worst, Winky!


Texasartchick

i found this and thought y'all might like it -



if you haven't seen it great and if you have i figure you probably wouldn't mind seeing it again...



oh wow and i just found this one-



where is his hair?!?!

(pic taken 3/21/09)

MWA-HA-HA-HAA! You asked for it!


"No, Lassie, I don't happen to be wearing a cup... thanks for noticing!"


"Gus, what do you mean you don't just want to hug Lassie like this sometimes?"


((This is a two-parter!))

"Shawn, I told you, *no* we cannot 'borrow' my handcuffs for later."
"Dude, Lassie! When did you get eyes in the back of your head... you're becoming more like my dad every day!"

[both pause and look at each other]
"Umm, yeah, I take that back..."
"Good, because that's disturbing on many levels considering what you want to do with my handcuffs."



[under his breath, so Juliet doesn't hear]
"Shawn, stop looking at Lutz! If it helps, I'll wear my vest tonight."

Who could mind seeing that top pic again?! As for the second one, I hear he buzzed it when he went to visit troops overseas. Here's to hoping it grew back enough before filming started!




Ah, Winky! I do so love the way your mind works!

Why thank you If only a full fic came as easy as those captions... (I had an idea for a fic... a long one, even started it, but couldn't come up with a major plot point and never worked on it again.)

Oh but you should! A full-fledged "Winky fic" would undoubtedly be great!

LOL, like I said, a major plot point failed to develop in my waning imagination (which was very active when I was young, and now barely exists)... so it is highly doubtful to ever happen (not to mention a bit out-dated at this point in time, as it was base on Scary Sherry & the 2nd season).

I don't know how active my imagination was even as a child. It was probably there, but I think everyone else did the greatest part of the imagining for me and I just kind of tagged along behind them. As for outdated, a couple of the ones you and I both like are definitely outdated as well, but it doesn't keep them from being well-written fics!

"where is his hair?!?!"

On the floor of a barber shop.


Texasartchick

Hey, TiManiacs!

I know I posted Tim's high school pictures here; but I don't remember posting his 20 yr. high school reunion pics. (from 2007)
The lady in the pics, Meggins Moore, is a camera operator who's worked on such shows as Curb Your Enthusiasm and Big Brother.

If you look closely, you can see Tim's high school pic on his nametag.





*What the heck; Tim was a cutie, even in high school, so here's a larger image of his name tag pic:

Don't recall seeing this one posted on this thread before (though who knows, really!)

There have been so many pics, and hopefully many more to come. Even if it's a repeat, I don't remember seeing it here. Repeats of Tim are good.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks also for your creative screencap comments. I was expecting one for this pic, maybe something along the lines of:

"I hope Spencer is watching. I want him to see just how flexible I can be."

Rather than repost more Tim pics tonight like this one from Seinfeld

here's a link to where this pic and more can be found
http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/ps...undson/?start=0

Enjoy!

I think it looks like Lassiter went undercover as a doctor.

Texasartchick

Whoa! How did this thread get so low on the page? Hm. I'm sure I have something that I can post.
Let's see ...

I have some fuzzy Xena Con pics where Tim looks ridiculously young; one from 2000


... and one from 2001


... and a between-seasons Psych interview from 2007. I cut out the boring stuff at the beginning, where he says the usual yadda, yadda.
*****

Q) What about your role is challenging?

A) It is challenging keeping a straight face to James Roday. That is what they pay me for. They don't pay me for the acting. They pay me to keep a straight face because that is the hardest work. That to me, is like working in a salt mine. Like I said, he just destroys me every take. We have such similar sense of humor. In fact, we all do! The whole ensemble comes from the same foundation of what we think of funny. We execute it differently, but we all have the same idea of what we like and that's why I think the show works so well. James and I love the same comedians and the same kind of comedy. He just destroys me every take. It is really difficult every take. I am such a bad actor around him, which is hard because I am playing such a straight guy. I am not allowed a crack of a smile and once it starts I can't stop that freight train!

Q) Where does Detective Lassiter's animosity towards Shawn stem from?

A) It's the fact that Lassiter really worked his way up the chain of command and he's very good at what he does. There is a reason why he is head detective as a guy in his mid thirties-ish. He's worked very hard at his game and to see this kid sort of skip his way into his world and start getting successful at it without paying any of the dues pisses him off. He's a dues paying kind of guy. That's why he respects O'Hara [Maggie Lawson] so much, even though she is young she is working her way up. There is a reason why she has gotten to her position at her age and it is because she is a very good detective. I think he has a lot of respect for that, where is with Shawn there is nothing to respect. Other than the fact that, gosh darn it, he keeps coming up with the right answers. On a personal level, any time a Converse wearing, jeans wearing, unshaven little slacker boy comes in and starts messing with his domain it is going to piss him off. It's all Alpha male territory.

Q) What is your most memorable moment from filming?

A) Maggie Lawson and I went to gun training. It wasn't for filming, but sort of a filming experiment. There was a scene where I shoot Hummel like figurines and Maggie and I had been asking the producers to get us some proper gun training so we'd really look like we know what we're doing. There is no gun ranges in the city so you have to drive about an hour and a half to get to a proper gun club. She and I drove out one Saturday afternoon, almost to the Washington state border, to this beautiful outdoor range. To see Maggie, who a petite girl, shoot a sawed off shotgun is a pretty funny thing! She's a very good shot, by the way! So, that was a great day getting to shoot guns with Maggie Lawson. Also, every time I laugh my ass off and ruin a take is memorable.

Q) What is it like working with such an amazing cast?

A) It's a Godsend! We put in very long hours. I am not working on the docks or in a salt mine, but it requires very specific kind of focus. It is difficult work in its own way. Like I said, comedy is pretty hard. It is a tough nut to crack. We put in very long hours and to get to do that with people you enjoy being around so much is just a really lucky thing. We shoot in Vancouver and it is sort of like being away to Actor Camp because we're all up there (in my case, my family comes with me - my wife, my girls and my dogs) and we don't really know anyone else up there other than the cast. I happen to have a few friends there from other projects, but it tends to make us stick together and hang out together. We see each other on our off hours and it is a sort of testament that we all enjoy each others company. So, if you have people who are stuck together for fourteen hours a day and then they still want to go have a drink after work together or on the weekends, I think that is saying a lot. That is one of the benefits to being out of town is that you get to know each other in a way you wouldn't normally. If we were shooting in LA, I am a busy father of two crazy little girls. We are wrapped up in our lives here so it is nice to go up there and get to spend some time together.

Q) Do you think the chemistry between the cast off of the set helps to translate to the chemistry on set?

A) Absolutely! You get to know each other much more quickly when you are hanging out together in your offset time. It can't do anything, but benefit you on screen. Part of my line of work is being comfortable and being free to let it all flow. The more comfortable you are with your cast it is going to show on screen and I think it does. I think that is why our show clicks so well is because we do know each other so well and get along so well.

Q) You have great comedic timing. Is it something that comes natural to you or is it something that you are constantly working at?

A) I have a pretty specific idea of what I think is funny. Pretty much, I am just ripping off people that I think are funny and have been doing it kind of all my life. My mom and dad watched a lot of movies and I watched a lot of sitcoms growing up. I remember being twelve years old, getting ready for bed, going to say goodnight to my dad (Since it was a school night) and he actually said to me, "You should stay up and watch this movie. I'll give you a hall pass tonight." The movie was The Thin Man with William Powell. From a really early age, I kind of had a specific idea of what I liked and my timing comes from what I think is funny and what makes me laugh. I am constantly mining bits to steal!

Q) Why do fans keep tuning in to the show?

A) I think the characters are very appealing. What I really think it is, is that we are having such a good time making this television show. What you are seeing is real. You are seeing people really enjoying the process, enjoying each other, having a good time and making each other laugh. When the audience tunes in, they're seeing something really genuine. The mountain lion may not have eaten the guy, but we're really having a good time talking about it. I think that is one of the biggest factors. People are very savvy and they can tell when it is not real and people aren't clicking. You can't fake that and I think the audience sees that, enjoys that and wants to come back. I think you really get to feel like you know these people. We're starting a new season and you are getting to know these people more. I think people tune in once a week to see who they are familiar with and you're going on your twelfth date with to get to know them a bit better.

Q) You played Shawn Potter on the beloved show "Judging Amy." Do you keep in touch with any of you former cast mates?

A) I spoke with Tyne and she lives in Manhattan currently. She is living her theater going life that she has always wanted to do. I see her and see Marcus Giamatti every now and then. I get email from Kevin Rahm and Adrian Pasdar and I are in a little bit of contact. Adrian, Kevin and I have been playing some golf. When you are on a show like that for six years, you really make some nice relationships. The lovely thing about that is when you are on a show for six years, beyond the work, is getting to hang out with actors who I happen to like a lot!

Q) What do you do in your spare time?

A) I hang out with my girls a lot, they are two and a half and almost five years old. It's pretty full on dad mode around my house. I golf badly every now and then. I have resigned myself to the fact that I am never going to be a really good golfer until both girls are in school. I am okay with that. That's not a terribly exciting life. It is pretty domestic. I am not jumping out of planes or rock climbing at the moment. I would say I spend most of my off time with my girls. I have an old 63' Falcon Convertible that I tinker around with every now and then. I come from a long line of gear-heads, my dad and brother are big car guys. Not that I have any of their skills, but I mess around with that.

Q) What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

A) Thank you. It's such a big question because I am so grateful for your support. You are not anywhere unless you have people watching and tuning in. It is because of them that I am able to still do this. In TV, it's not like theater where you get to share in the experience with the audience. Every time I get a letter or someone asking for a picture of something, it's really gratifying that they'll take the time to sit down and write a letter saying they like my work or what I do makes them laugh. That's a really lovely thing and I am grateful and appreciative. Thank you and keep watching, please!

Wow! Thanks for the post, Bethgreen! Great Tim O. stuff. I've read that interview before, but it's a joy to revisit.

By the way, over in the "Season 4 Spoilers Thread", I saw news (no spoilers, don't worry) that leads me to believe we'll get some great Lassie moments in season 4. Good guest star casting, too. I can't wait!



Texasartchick

It definitely looks like we'll be getting a few good ones this season! I have no idea where I'll find the patience to wait until August to start seeing them. I feel such Lassi-deprivation!

Ok, I have a really good topic for discussion. I was just thinking about this on the way to work tonight.

People always say that alcohol magnifies one's "true personality". I thought it was interesting that in "From Earth To Starbucks", we find out that Lassiter is a "happy drunk". Yeah he's drinking because he's depressed over his separation. But when he sees Shawn, not only does he call him over to the table, he tries to buy him a drink and compliments him (the famous "you astound me" line). Does this mean that, deep down, beneath the hard-ass exterior, he's really a nice guy?

Discuss!



Texasartchick

LOL, well, I think I'm biased... but, yes, I do think Lassie (I originally typed Tim, LOL, and I'm pretty certain he is also a nice guy) is a nice guy. But, I will point out, that I definitely don't think that someone can't be a hard-ass and a nice person. They may be more difficult to get to know and not make easy friends, but those they do they are true to.

I, personally, would find it difficult to believe that someone with such a strong sense of duty and right and wrong, such as Lassie, *wouldn't* be a nice guy. But I also see people as very multi-faceted and 'nice guy' can often be interpreted as such a one-dimensional characteristic. But, I may be a bit naive, and I think *most* people are generally nice and certainly *capable* of being nice... I consider myself nice, but that doesn't keep me from cussing under my breath (or not so under) at other drivers whose driving I do not approve of or from occasionally talking bad about someone else (sometimes without even intending to).

Again, this being said, I find it difficult to think that Lassiter isn't a nice person, I certainly think Lassie himself would consider himself nice to those (as long as they aren't criminals or bothering him).

Though... here's a question for discussion as well: Why do you think Lassie became a cop? To uphold the law? To be in charge? Because it's 'so cool' to have a gun and a badge? To have authority?

I agree with Winky. Lassiter is absolutely a nice guy, regardless of how he acts. He cares, and loves, and can definitely be very gentle. You need to remember that he is a cop who has seen and experienced lots of stuff that no one ever should, and has a job where his life, and the lives of others is constantly in jeopardy. He has to deal with it somehow. This is how he deals with it- try to keep a firm order of things. The thing is that he is very passionate about what he does, and so is Shawn. Those two are not so able to see things from the point of view of others, much less of each other since they're so polar opposites, lol, so they clash. The truth, and we all know this, is that they would give their lives for each other.

Why did Lassiter become a cop? Because he cares and wants to help people, but his personality is such that he feels the way to do this is to maintain order and enforce rules. He's also the consumate teacher's pet, except that the "teacher" in this case is the law.

"He's also the consummate teacher's pet, except that the 'teacher' in this case is the law."

Now THAT is a GREAT QUOTE. I like the way you think.


"I agree with Winky. Lassiter is absolutely a nice guy, regardless of how he acts. He cares, and loves, and can definitely be very gentle. You need to remember that he is a cop who has seen and experienced lots of stuff that no one ever should, and has a job where his life, and the lives of others is constantly in jeopardy. He has to deal with it somehow. This is how he deals with it- try to keep a firm order of things."

Uh oh! You're going to have to read the new fanfic I'm working on currently. (You want to second this, Winky? She's my awesome beta!) Believe it or not, it deals with this exact subject matter. Holy crap, that's just plain creepy. Hmmm. Maybe I should start wearing a tinfoil hat to keep your evil machines from tapping into my brain...


Texasartchick

LOL, Yep! Rulz, I do think You'll enjoy Texas's fic she's working on! Focuses on our favorite Psych detectives!

Well, Texasartchick, didn't you know I'm psychic?? I guess from dealing with cops day in and day out, this is just my experience. I've seen a few Lassiter type guys, and the majority of them are very nice people, if you can handle a little abrasiveness, lol.

I'd love to read your fanfic, sounds like a great read! I've also just discovered Psychfic.com and am pretty much hooked.

"I'd love to read your fanfic, sounds like a great read! I've also just discovered Psychfic.com and am pretty much hooked."

Yeah, I discovered Psychfic.com a couple of months ago myself, it's great. I've been passing the time between seasons by delving into several of the great stories over there. I love the fact that they have rules and standards for posting, unlike so many fic sites, and I think it only adds to the quality of the material.

Here's a link to the recent story. If you do read it, I'd appreciate it if you'd be so kind as to rate & review. Authors love feedback, it lets us know if we're doing something right.

Texasartchick

A new one? Exciting! As for Lassiter...well, I pretty much agree with everything y'all said. Dull answer, I know!
