Hello Kayley (that's 5!)
North Carolina, we use to live in Durham.
HAHA, Oh man, that's a tough question! Hmmm..how would I characterize "TJ Thyne" in a way an actor could play that role...! wow...yikes...um...okay let me give it a go...I'd tell them to watch BONES and act it like that character Jack Hodgins. haha. I've said before that in the beginning of the show bones, it was hard playing a guy that was so angry all the time and far removed from me, so over the years, I've made jack a lot more like me so it's that much easier to play,. I was watching last nights episode and seeing how Michael & Michaela and I were interacting in the scene on the platform with the wood/bone and I thought..."ha, that's just us talking." Sure the characters are talking about subject matters we aren't discussing when the camera stops rolling, but otherwise...it's extremely close to reality. We laugh more then the characters a bit more goofy, but otherwise...otherwise...Jack Hodgins does a pretty damn good imitation of TJ Thyne.
