Totally fine...I was thinking I needed to join said support group myself, was just waiting until I'm not at work and have time to give the photos on that thread the attention they deserve...

It's tough sneaking off to the support group meetings, lol! Be sure to check out the GA appreciation thread for a lil' bit of eye candy regarding an upcoming BN guest star, too.

Figured I'd plunk this excerpt from a JD interview into the Bond/Westen thread, just as an item of interest - here's JD on Michael Westen vs. James Bond:

"The thing about Bond is, everyone in the room knows he's Bond. I'm the anti-Bond. No one knows I'm the most dangerous man in the room. And that's a lot of fun to play. Because if you are a Bond, then you're always cool. I love playing a guy that's not cool. That he's kind of fallible, that he falls down, that he messes something up, that he gets angry. Bond never gets angry. Weston does."

I had to add to this thread. Those of you that spoke of Pierce Brosnan, I have to say, I met him on a stage-set while in college at UNC-W. This was back when I was in my 20's. He was doing a scene, and I flirted with him until I interrupted the scene. I was with a couple of girl-friends, and just to see what kind of guy he is when he came over to meet us, I dropped all my books right at his feet. He immediately dropped down and picked them up. Of course I seized the opportunity to help, and yes, he does smell AWESOME!, and is far more handsome in person. A real nice guy, and my hubbie sure hates when I tell this story, but when I watched Fi in action during the Comrades episode, it kinda reminded me of myself and Pierce!

Cindyanne, that's an awesome story! Pierce Brosnan is such an incredibly handsome man - but the thing I love about him the most is how funny he is. One of my favorite Pierce Brosnan movies is Mrs. Doubtfire, actually - I thought he was hilarious in that! I wish I'd gotten a chance to see Remington Steele - it was on when I was a kid, but I never did watch much television and I missed it. I'm gonna have to see if I can rent it from Netflix...

The first 2 seasons were great- just avoid the last one, as Pierce was forced to do it under contract when he should have been making his first Bond flick...

Edited to add:
That would be the short season five... a little research reminds me that it was a good show all 4 seasons, with two & three being the strongest IMO.
