Gideon Emery (Donovan Shepherd)- news and discussion

[Lilly]

After threatening to cut his hair super short (using #1 clippers ) and a great deal of discussion on his Facebook page, Gid has cut his hair...

Spoiler:

Doesn't it look GREAT?!!

[librarian_7]

He looks less...gaunt and craggy. Very nice.

Wow.

The hair makes such a huge difference!

Totally different image.

He's a remarkably handsome man, when he's not trying to scare you witless.

Just a reminder -- Gideon is on Castle tonight (11/1) on ABC. If you can't watch it live, be sure to record it or catch it online tomorrow.

[Lilly]

Has everyone set their DVRs??

[NocturneInCMoll]

I watched it "live," since I don't watch H50. He does look SO much better with the short hair (but then, I hate long hair on guys) and minus the serial killer voice/scary vampire look, he's really not bad--not bad at all!

Funnily enough,

Spoiler:

his character makes a vampire reference!

I was a little surprised at

Spoiler:

how small his role was. His scene was amusing, though.

[Lilly]

Even though it was briefer than I would have liked, it was wonderful seeing him in this.

It was especially nice

Spoiler:

to see him in a lighter role -- something where he didn't die, kill someone or end up in a shoot out. We did get to see a bit of humor here and I loved the expression on his face at the end of the scene. I would so love to see Gideon playing more of these confident, snarky sort of characters. Maybe the new look will open up some more opportunities.

[NocturneInCMoll]

This is only the second thing I've seen him in (that I know of)--if I wasn't expecting to see him in this episode, with shorter hair, I might not have realized where I knew him from.

A much lighter role, yes, but

Spoiler:

his character was still a bit of a sleazebag

[Lilly]

Just thought I'd add a cap from Castle...

[allegrita]

Ooh! I love his expression.

[librarian_7]

Now that's a handsome guy! Only wish his part had been a little larger, but

Spoiler:

at least he wasn't the murderer!

Gideon is currently working on an upcoming episode of The Mentalist.

I'll let you know as soon as I know which episode it's going to be.

[allegrita]

Woot! Hmm... is his hair still super-short? If so, that limits the nature of his roles a bit. He does play awfully good bad guys, so that's not necessarily a handicap. But I do miss his pretty hair...

[Lilly]

Yeah, it's really buzzed. But he could always wear a wig, a la Donovan Shepherd.
