Gideon Emery (Donovan Shepherd)- news and discussion

[wpgrace]

It was a good ep, but I think this has been a particularly strong season for the show. And they left it with a great teaser for coming back... whenever it is that it's coming back...

Gideon was good. I am NO judge of accents, but he sounded real enough to me. He LOOKED so different from Shepherd that if I hadn't been told it was he, I'm not sure that I woulda figured it out on my own. SO thanks for telling me in advance, my friends!

And he did survive, but I was kinda hoping they'd leave it in a place that he'd be likely to guest star again... since she "can't go home again" I wonder if they will ever use him again...

Enjoyed last nights show. And agreeing with grace, again, I wouldn't have known...boy was his appearance different.

edited to fix a typo

I was out, but I recorded it so I'll have to watch it all the way through..just caught the tail end.

Burn Notice, like a lot of USA's shows split their season...it'll be back in Dec or Jan.

I might have have twigged that it was him, from the voice, and possibly from the profile. He has such a distinctive nose.

I haven't watched the show, except maybe part of one ep, but this was good. And Gideon was memorable in the role....which is not suprising.

Usually they re-run the show once in the week. The show was good enough to watch again. Lots of action, the the Irish accents were a nice change.

I'm hoping for the same thing. At least the brother is alive - it makes the chances of reappearing much better. This is the first time we've gotten any backstory on Fi so it probably will depend on what TPTB think of his performance.

I do think they could have given him a little bit more to do. But it was nice to see him be a good guy!

And here's a cap (the picture quality's not very good - sorry ) -



Red

[wpgrace]

Yep, Red... if y'all hadn't told me he was gonna be on, I would NOT have recognized him as the same guy who played Donovan Shepherd...

Talk about looking DIFFERENT!!! And of course sounding quite different too... good on him!

[darkstarrising]

same here....I would never have recognized him....

thanks for the cap

[bluedahlia3]

Thanks for the cap. The eyes are the same. Kinda weird for a sane guy.

Thanks for the info! I thought I missed the episode.

Sounds like January is a busy month for ML alumni!

[wpgrace]

Oh cool... I watch that show... so looking forward to seeing the versatile Gideon.

I really appreciate the posting. I watch The Forgotten - usually on DVR but will try to do it live and DVR the other program. I remember being so happy when Gideon actually replied to me in an email after I sent him a note advising him that I thought he was one of the scariest characters ever on Moonlight. While admittedly he isn't the leading man type, I was just happy that he had taken the time to actually reply himself.
