haha! how bout...



"Some have said it's the hair."

Hee!

All he needs now is a new tie:

haha! nice!

OMG!!! That pic is SUPER HOT!!!

Yeah, but I say, it is the eyes. James' eyes say it all! By the way, this pic is awesome!

I also think he looks cool/hot with his sleeves rolled up like that

I had a choice today: study, or look at muy caliente (very hot) pictures.
For those of you who would choose as I did, here's a more serious James:

James es muy caliente...haha

great pic!!!

ironicly, i chose looking at muy caliente pics over doing my spanish homework...

Bunn coffee maker in background woot. We got that at our work too!

In my opinion, he looked great during that entire episode!!! The outfit looked AMAZING on him!!

Gush, gush, gush.

I'm up for some gushing. Those pictures... gave me happy feelings...

Gee, I just had a choice of homework or Tiger Beat Magazine! Oh, by the way, excellant pic!

okay i think it's time for a bump and a pic!

WOW!! He looks so different with that hair!!!!!!

yeah. i like his hair better now than in that pic^

Actually, the way I understand it is that James tends to wear his hair more down and shaggy like that picture (rather than all gelled and spiky like Shawn)... I think that's what I've heard... something about the way he wears it as the UPS-type guy in Homicidio is much closer to James' hair style than the way he wears it as Shawn...

I had to laugh when I read your comment. I was just reading a review for James' short-lived series, 'First Years,' in which the reviewer called James 'Shaggy.' (The critic did not like the show, which was canceled after only three episodes aired.)

If it weren't for 'Rolling Kansas,' I'd say James looks hot no matter what, shaggy or gelled.
Thanks for sharing another fine pic.

Here's an old photo from our local newspaper of James (with Tamiia Poitier) from 'First Years.'

Yeah, if you listen to the commentaries, James doesn't use product on his hair like he does on the show.


Now, you can see her on the new edition of Knight Rider (which Shawn would probably watch beside the voice of KITT is voiced by none other than Val Kilmer!)

If you hadn't told me that was James, I would have thought it was Jason Ritter and Sydney Tamiia Poitier from Joan of Arcadia...

Amazing how similar James and Jason look with hair that length and in black and white and grainy... LOL

Sorry I left the 'Sydney' off of Sydney Tamiia Poitier's name on my previous post.
In the picture below, if the guy on the left looks familiar, it's because he's Kevin Connolly from Entourage.

If you think that black & white photo doesn't look like James, there's one First Years promo pic that *really* doesn't look like him.
I'm referring to this one:





I might as well go ahead and share the only other First Years pic I have, my personal favorite:

wow you right that really dosen't look like James!

Dang! It is no wonder I don't remember this series! Probably NBC didn't it a chance like the other series he was in on the peacock network: Miss Match! Not that Fox was any kinder to Ryan Caulfield: Year One! It is no wonder James didn't want to do Psych! I am so glad he did! I can't image anyone else as Shawn Spencer. If you watch the audition on Season One: it easy why the producers picked him!

WOW!! He looks sooooooo young!!!! He looks a lot more like himslf in the second picture.

wow!
he's looks cute in a less sexy way than these days.

James does look odd there compare to now.

Off Topic: Hey that one dude in these pics looks like the demon from reaper!

your so right!!! i practically worship tim. im gonna get a collie dog and name it lassy to honor him! lol and love the pix on your signature!

if james roday ran for president i would vote for him!!!!!!! 9with Dulé for v.p. of course)

Of course!!!!!

First off, James can't run for president. In the constitution, you have to be 35 years old in order to run for president, and James is only thirty-two. Dulé has been campaigning for Obama and even ran for an open seat in SAG (yes, the same organization that the show teased in Disco Didn't Die; It Was Murder!). Hey, I would vote for Arnold Swartzegger but according to the constitution, I can't vote for him, either because he is not a US citizen.

Time for a random Roday 'baby' pic!

Awww! How cute!

okay, this is getting WAY too far down the list!
another amazing pic from the one and only james roday!








*sighs*

Wow!

I thank Psychfan93 for yesterday's eye candy. And because today I am all about the pretty, here's more of the hotness that is James Roday:

Just thought I would say that for my web class we are making an animated banner for Hispanic Heritage Month and the first person I thought of was Emilio Estevez! I mean, who wouldn't? Then I remembered James Roday is Mexican and so I took Emilio out and put James in. He deserves some recognition! So has anyone else used James in an assignment or for work, school, or any random things?

I reference him and Psych in one of my papers for my Mass Communication class when we were discussing media literacy skills.

hey, i don't mind looking at pics of james and picking the right one to post! haha great pic!

Hi there!

In case you haven't seen it, I thought that I'd share the following interview from the Latin Forum regarding James and his heritage.

Psych out

By Kiko Martinez

Don’t let his name fool you. There’s more to up-and-coming actor James Roday than meets the eye.

It was an exciting albeit chaotic final year for James Rodriguez as he anticipated graduating from New York University with a degree in fine arts and starting his career as an actor. When he was offered his first paying gig even before the school year ended, Rodriguez had a lot of difficult choices to make. With another James Rodriguez already registered as a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild (Rule No. 15 of the organization’s regulations states that no member may use a professional name that is the same as, or closely resembles, the name of any other member), his first decision was whether he should add a middle initial or suffix to his moniker to make it unique.
Instead, he opted to take the recommendation of a television executive, who advised him the best thing to do would be to Americanize his name and change it completely.

Overnight, James Rodriguez became James Roday, currently the star of the USA Network TV series Psych, which began its third season on July 18. It’s a choice, he says, that he probably would not make again if given the chance.

“For a 22-year-old kid who is thinking he was going to be bartending and scraping pennies together to buy a burrito and maybe do some theater, having a television executive say you should change your name made enough sense to me,” says Roday, 32. “There was a lot of stuff going on all at once, and I had about 48 hours to make a decision.”

Although he might rethink it today, Roday can’t deny the choice he made has led to a successful nine-year career in the television and film industry and continues to pay dividends. It becomes a game of “what if” when he thinks about where he would be now if he had chosen to keep his surname.

Picture this flashing on the TV screen during a commercial break: Psych starring James Rodriguez. Could that have actually worked in an industry where Latino leading men are few and far between?

“It’s a slippery slope,” says Roday. “I would love to say that it could have worked out the same way, but I think there is more evidence that suggest that it wouldn’t have than there is that it would have.”

It’s not common knowledge that Roday is half Mexican. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Psych’s leading man attended Taft High School where he dropped all his extra extracurricular activities to devote his full attention to the theater department. In discovering his natural talent on stage, Roday knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.

“He was a remarkable actor,” said his high school drama teacher James Buchanan. “He’s always had terrific charisma and an energy that was very unique. Whenever we would take him to any contest he was always noticed as being one of the best.”
When high school ended, Roday sat down with Buchanan to talk seriously about what he should do with his life. Without hesitation, Buchanan looked at his young student and said, “New York.”

“There are not many students that I would tell they should give up everything to pursue a career in acting,” Buchanan says. “But he was one of them. I told him that if he really wanted to give everything up, it would be a great career for him because he has a special gift.”
That fall, Roday began attending classes at New York University. It was a mind-blowing experience, he says, that introduced him to endless opportunities.

“In New York City as an 18-year-old, you really feel like anything can happen,” Roday says. “On the flip side of that coin, you are in a program with at least 200 kids that want to do the same exact thing that you do. It really sank in for me. For the first time I saw just how little the odds were that a kid from Texas was going to be able to make things happen for himself.”

Although they started slowly, things did begin happening for Roday. After three short-lived TV series and a few small film roles, Roday was offered the lead in the USA Network TV show Psych. In it, Roday plays Shawn Spencer, a private investigator who pretends to have psychic abilities so he can help the police solve crimes.

“I was actually ready to take a break from TV when they offered me Psych,” Roday says. “I had tried three different shows for three different reasons and watched them all fail. I wasn’t really feeling like I was doing anything that mattered or was justifying why I was doing this.”

Roday’s validation came after the show’s first season when Psych was named the highest-rated U.S. basic cable TV premiere of 2006. With that, a second season followed, and now a third.

“My work has only just begun because now we have to do everything better than the first two seasons,” Roday says. “There is no better motivational tool than knowing people are watching you. We were given the opportunity to grow organically into a show that people could appreciate. Now, there is an obligation to really deliver to our fans who are hanging out with us every week.”

In His Own Words

On attending the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) conference this past March:
“It was an eye-opener. The level of awareness and interest wasn’t very high. It was sort of a smack in the face. It definitely led me to being a lot more aware of where [Latinos] are in the industry. In a way it was something I never paid a whole lot of attention to before, but now I am.”

On landing the first Latino role of his career as a groom named
Carlos on one episode of NBC’s new 2008 shows Fear Itself:
“It’s part of why I did it to be honest. The director is a friend of mine and he was like, ‘Do you want to do this? What would make it interesting to you? What would make it appetizing?’
I asked if we could make him Latino. He said absolutely.”

On whether or not he would like to pursue more Latino roles in the future:
“If it makes sense and it’s good for the project, I would love to jump in and play more Latino characters. I don’t look like I’m Latino, though. When directors and producers are writing Latino roles and thinking about who they want to be in their movies, I’m not the prototype that comes to mind.”

I love him

hahaha me too!

wow, thanks bethgreen!

he looks so different!!!



This is one of my favorite pictures of him ever!!!!!!!!

Hi! Thanks for posting the article. I have read it before, but appreciate you posting it. James could be an alien (um ones from outer space just in case anyone thinks I'm referring to immigrants) for all I care! He is extremely talented and extremely cute!

Copy & Paste (celebrating season 4)

Happy Monday!

Today's photo comes from James' brief appearance in the 2005 movie, 'Don't Come Knocking.'
Sorry it's not a better pic, but his role, (like this pic) was rather small.
The beard, hat, and sunglasses tend to hide the fact, but he's still HOT!

Hi there! Here's today's eye candy.
IMHO, the only good thing about the 'Dukes of Hazzard' movie is the fact that James was in it.
After looking at yesterday's pic and today's, I decided to add a caption.

haha that's a sexy moustache!

Yeah, he looks good even though he plays a devious character! Nascar would love him on the circuit!

he's the only reason I watched Dukes of Hazzard in the first place

great pics ~ he is so hot!
