According to a recent BI, he and Thomas Gibson didn't get along on
Chicago Hope and then found out only after signing on to Criminal
Minds that they'd be working together again. At least, they were the
popular guesses for the BI--really the only ones anyone could come up
with that fit the clues. I had a hard time believing it because I
think of them both as pros, but it kinda sounds like it must be true.
Only thing left to guess is which one is which. I see Mandy as more
likely to be disruptive and disrespectful and Thomas as occasionally
refusing to act with him. But maybe all the super-polite stuff Thomas
puts on is just an act for the media and he's a pain in the ass on the
set. Naaahhhh....
This one's so obvious, it almost doesn't deserve to be a blind item.
Yet, in the interest of keeping one of my favorite moles from being
removed, I won't name names. You, however, are welcome and even
encouraged to guess which pair of leading men on a procedural (whom I
can take or leave - but you guys, for some reason, prefer to take and
take and take) can't stand one another. In fact, one of the fellows
is
so legendarily disruptive and disrespectful of his colleagues that
this one peer in particular has, at times, refused to play scenes
with
him. What's more, the animosity between these two dates back to the
last series they did together. Go ahead and say it: "Wait, these two
already hated each other, and yet they're doing a second show
together?!" Yep.But here's the hilarious part: Neither of them knew
that the other was going to be part of the ensemble until they'd
already been cast in the pilot and had already shown up for the first
table read. Can you say awkward? So, guesses? (And don't make me
insult you by giving you asterisks.)
