Jason on Lie to Me - "Beat the Devil"

Nice to get a mention, but did they REALLY need to give away the ending of the ep?

This is one of the unfortunate side effects of so many crime dramas on television. Actors are generally either cast in a "starring" role (I'm including all the regular crew here) or "bad guy No. N". In order to keep folks' faith in the capabilities of the crime fighters (which is necessary to keep the show going) there aren't many opportunities to bring a guest star back. IMHO

Nutmegger, I know... but Criminal Minds has done this more than once and, as a viewer, I loved it. And I'm certainly not saying I think it will happen (JD being brought back), but rather that I wish it would. (And I wonder if Tim Roth might wish it, too. )

Susie, ITA, it would be great to see JD get more air time.
Criminal Minds is (IMHO) one of the few that has been able to successfully pull off the repeat villain. I hated Jason in this role because he played it so well. Martin was a complete freak-you-out horrible character - certainly worthy of another haunting appearance.

Though a new show where he plays a good guy would be a lot easier to watch.

I kinda thought this, too.....

Jason's performance in this episode seems to had a dramatic effect on his IMDb STARmeter. His popularity there is now at it's highest point -- EVER.

Thanks for this red! When I logged on tonight, only the pilot ep was being offered for free, though....

Am I excited for that, or what??

I finally got to see the episode this week. In my youthful enthusiasm, I think I may have posted a couple of 'caps in the wrong thread (then again 'pictures of Jason' has some other caps of his roles too), but if our mods prefer it, I'll move them here

I liked the ep very much. I hadn't seen Lie to Me before (it's on TV here but in *german* and I don't watch dubbed tv) and it made me want to watch more of it. Jason's character was very thrilling. It was very cool to see him in something new again!

My absolute favourite scene is :

Spoiler:

...the interrogation scene, the blend-in of Martin's smile vs Richard Ramirez & Ted Bundy / pics. That seriously made me go

Also, his mother seems to be afraid of him- the way she apologises to Martin?

[redwinter101]

Tam, you posted them in the right place. (The actors' pic threads are for pictures of the actors as themselves and all roles except Moonlight - there are separate character pic threads for Mick, Josef etc.). But by all means, feel free to post them here as well.

ETA: to fix typo

The caps are fine in the Jason thread, Tam. Any pictures of Jason are welcome there.
