    Has any one heard if George will be back for Season 11? Just a note on George's size.. I know someone who met him recently and she says he is much smaller than she was expecting (height and weight) and also better looking in person.

    I haven't heard anything about season 11 yet. I'm hoping something shows up in my google alerts soon.

    I don't really go to that board either. Actually, the last time I did was when somebody told me that I was mentioned by name. :wtf: I found that to be extremely weird and a bit stalkerish.

    I haven't heard anything either. I suppose no news is good news :D

    Not only do they mention you by name, but they link to your posts too. :rolleyes: Today was the first day I've been there in months. Then again we're monitoring it 24/7 :rolleyes: and it's amazing I actual bring in a paycheck. :rolleyes:

    Jacquie? :guffaw: Exactly!

    In any case, I love George just the way he is. :D Except for the mustache and the longer hair. :shifty: Sorry, but I didn't like that. However it didn't make me drool any less :D

    I usually come to this site or one over at Live Journal to find articles. I only went there because my name was mentioned..SEVERAL TIMES doing things I didn't know was I doing, I wasn't even aware of the stuff I was doing. That was news to me..:lol: It bothered me alot at first, now I just laugh it off cause it's funny.

    Well, as I said to a friend of mine, it says more about them..than it says about us. I'd rather spend my time on the internet criticizing social policies than debate a tv actor's looks.

    George is a very good looking guy whether he's gained weight, lost weight, has a mustache, has long hair, short hair.

    On top of that, he's a very smart guy and a charitable one.

    And he's successful at what he does. So maybe he doesn't have an Oscar or an Emmy on his mantle, but he's had steady work for a long time. That's more than most people in that field have had.

    And that's all that matters really. I don't think he's concerned about some internet website criticizing him, so I don't think we should be either.

    However, it's still a highly entertaining website.

    Well, I don't hate you and I do not think you are a nutcase. You said that you think George is a great actor and wish everything good for him. Rock on! I feel the exact same way.

    I just scratch my head that my name was brought up there. I don't participate on that board. I guess it's because I mod Only_Nicky and Nick_Discussion.

    Because LionsHeart had second thoughts and deleted her post that was quoted in the one above, I went ahead and removed the quote. In this case it seemed appropriate to respect her wishes of not having it up anymore.

    And let's please go ahead and discuss Nick/George now, not what other people say or do on other sites. Thanks! :)

    So on to more positive topics...

    George is a great actor and in my opinion and underestimated one. What kind of roles do you think he would be good at when he's done with CSI.

    I was thinking of the character like Professor Xavier in X-Men, kind of the wise professor type advising groups of young heroes.

    I hate to typecast, but I sure do like him in the law enforcement role. :adore: Maybe something like a detective next time? I'm sure he'd rather do something different tho. I know he's always wanted to play a superhero. :) Cowboys are good too, but there I go typecasting again! I think just about anything he does will be good, although I wonder how it would be to see him as a villain?

    When I read this, I thought about a recap Leslie Sobell did at Television Without Pity where she writes, "George Eads is about as scary as an attack kitten." :guffaw:I'm paraphrasing because I can't find the exact quote but basically she was saying some actors do better at playing nice guys than evil guys.

    I'm not saying George couldn't play a character, but he's much better at playing good guys.

    I see him playing more tragic heroes because that guy can emit deep-seated emotions across the screen like very few actors can. So that's my guess at what kind of roles he'd be good at.

    For example, he could play a few roles Nick Nolte has done such as Tom Wingo in Prince of Tides (the book was far better than the movie) and General Colnel Oliver in Hotel Rwanda-who by the way was based on a real life UN Peacekeepr-Romeo Dallaire-who if a movie was made about that guy (one was done in Canada)by a Hollywood producer, George would be great at the role, except he'd have to learn to speak French..:eek:

    ETA: Here is the exact quote, "He's supposed to be intimidating, but since this is George Eads, the effect is not unlike watching someone threaten you with their attack kittens. I tell you -- born to play the amiable nice-guy roles." Leslie Sobell

    *wanders off with image of George standing around with angry kittens in both hands saying in a threatening tone of voice, "Say hello to my little friends..":guffaw:

    I loved him in Just a Walk in the Park, so I would love to see him do comedies. Either a regular comedy or a romantic comedy.

    I think I remember reading an interview on here (I think some time during the last season or so) where George said he'd love to sink his teeth into a war movie. I'd take that. Who could say no to that man in a uniform! :drool:

    Of course he's also done the voice of Captain Atom in the Justice League cartoon. So, yah, a real superhero role (after all he does like drawing them) with the skin tight costumes... :devil: :devil: :devil:

    Jumping into the thread because of this comment. Shameless comic book nut, right here! :D

    I remember that episode. He did a pretty good job voicing Captain Atom. Unfortunately, because of CSI, he was unable to continue with the role. Which is a shame because the Captain played an important part in the show's main storyarc. Plus, it would have been an opportunity to hear George play opposite the usual good guy stuff - Captain Atom went fist to fist with Superman. Awesome stuff.

    Now that I've officially showed by geek off, I'm leaving. :)
