Subject: Oh, mkim, I TOTALLY agree with you about DJE's choices of roles. While I didn't care for the TE story I understand what you mean. It was a serious role - not your typical one - and allowed him much room to really ACT. Jim Conlon was truly "Close" to Harm, and Russ Josephson (CSI:NY) is even closer..... (inside)
In reply to: mkim 's message, "Is it just me?????" on 14:55:01 05/17/11 Tue

John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, etc. have all made HUGE careers out of playing basically the same character in every movie. Other actors are more versatile (Harrison Ford, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, etc.), and still others are strictly "character" actors who usually end up in scene-stealing supporting roles.

DJE is the kind of actor who should be playing Senior American Military Officers (or other Cop or FBI types) in "good guy" roles in every part he takes. He should seek out those roles and work 'em to the hilt!

He says he wants to be in shows that he can confidently allow his kids to watch, but this new Texas Trash show? Really? "Scoundrels"? That one about the female sex addict? Really???

I watched "Scoundrels" and I thought DJE did a good job with Wolfy, but there was always something just a little "off kilter" about the role for me. Watching him in CSI:NY just FEELS LIKE HOME for him, especially when shamelessly flirting with Jo. LOL

The same could be said for "Degree of Guilt", even tho it was the first year after JAG started. Paget was a guy with a bit of a sordid past who had some layers to him and yet strove to uphold the truth as best he could. DJE always does well when playing someone conflicted who believes in the Truth.

Any way you slice it, DJE needs to get back in uniform - preferably US Navy blues - and get back in the groove. If given the chance to portray the Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, DJE should absolutely JUMP on it!!! Mullen is tall with dark hair, a true leader, and well-respected by all service personnel as well as civilian leadership. And a nice guy, too. (I met him once at a D-Day event last year.)

But yeah, I TOTALLY agree with you about DJE's confusing career choices, mkim.

[> [> I liked Russ Josephson too, what little I saw of him, which was the problem with Jimmy Conlon, we never saw enough of him and we didnt get to find out enough about his character, personally. I still hate that Close to Home got cancelled it was a good show all around. I'd love to see DJE in uniform and though I'm very partial to a man in a Navy uniform, he'd suit me in just about anything. As I said above, he was a knockout in a Marine uniform. -- mkim, 21:09:36 05/17/11 Tue [1]
