Hill Harper/Sheldon Hawkes #2: He's Got Panties

Hi there!
I've been popping in from time to time reading, so I thought that it's about time I joined in.

I love love Hill Harper/Dr Sheldon Hawkes, he's a great actor/character I loved him in season 1 as an M.E, and when he moved out on to the field I thought it would be great, however I have been disappointed with the lack of screentime our favourite Doc has been given over the last two years, he had much more screentime and charisma as the M.E on season one than he has now and I HATE IT!

I know they've devoted a few episodes this season on him but come on, we need more than that I need to know more about him, his backstory yes I'm talking to you TPTB, Dr Hawkes is a great character and he's becoming quite forgettable even when he is on screen because of the limited time he is given.

In season one I always looked forward to seeing Dr Hawkes, mind you he was on screen talking about the victim/s on his table but sometimes that was the highlight of the ep.

To TPTB, please let us have more of Dr Hawkes I mean sure every now and then we are given little tidbits of info on him but, he needs more development and SCREENTIME!!!

 

Welcome, sydneycsi! I agree. We definitely need more Hawkes! I'm still pissed that one of his big moments of the season was upstaged by Danny taking his shirt off. That's B.S. TPTB owe Hawkes.

 

I was just thinking of Hill this weekend. I was watching my favorite movie with him in it: Lackawanna Blues. It's a travesty what Hawkes has (not) been put through this season and the last. I guess whining about it is going to do nothing...

You know, MrsG, he hasn't been completely emasculated this season; maybe we could do an emmy project for Hill next year if he gets some development? Any thoughts?

 

MrsGiovinazzo, I totally agree with you on that, I mean hey I'm all for Danny shirtless but when he does this during a pivotal moment in Hawkes scene it's just pathetic, I mean seriously do TPTB have rocks in their head?
Hawkes deserves better than that.
I've read the review of the season finale and I'm so glad that Hawkes was involved heavily I mean it's about damn time...

 

For someone who grew up watching horror flicks, I had quite a giggle watching Hawkes rise from the dead to sneak up on the mobster. :lol:

I also honestly thought Hawkes might actually slash the guy with the bone saw. I'm not sure if that was only because I was into the moment, but he seemed pretty pissed seeing Adam's ID around the guy's neck.

Think it might have just been me.

Though I am glad he had a bigger part in this episode. It was fun to watch Hawkes throw away his mild-manner, sophisticated ways and get down to business.

 

No, not just you. Hawkes was pissed. You don't mess with Adam.

I definitely enjoyed seeing this 'other side' to Hawkes--but it makes you wonder how he feels about acting the way he did. Dragging a dead body around, digging into his chest for the bullet, holding a bone saw to another guy's neck, etc. When he's not in the adrenaline rush of that situation, he might not be too happy with his actions...

 

I'm all for doing anything to support Hill. The writers need to give Hawkes some storylines next season for that project to work, but I'll gladly coordinate anything to help Hill.

I loved seeing how much screen time he got last night! Yay! About f-ing time they give the man something to do. Hill did a great job and should be utilized so much more than he is.

 

...Happy Birthday Mr. Hill Harper!!!!

 

It certainly is. Can't believe the guy is 41, definitely getting better with time. I was able to get myself an autographed copy of Hill's book in paper back during his time in Atlanta a week ago. He SIGNED MY NAME!! I had a friend go pick it up and get it signed, I was a couple of states away. I have pictures, but don't know how to link to them.

 

Oohhh.... Happy Birthday Hill! 41 looks good on you.

 

Happy birthday, Hill!!! Like a fine wine, that man only improves with age.

Thanks for giving us the heads up on his birthday, Tish.

Ebonygirl - We'd love to see the pics! If you upload them to photobucket, they have a cool little url link you just cut and paste into your post here. We're certainly not adverse to drooling over Hill if you're so inclined as to hook us up with a little eye candy.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HILL!

I think my mom would offer to jump out of Hill's wedding cake. She's got a taste for some sexual chocolate. :devil:

Of course, she might leap at him and our natural fangirl response would cause an all-out brawl to start. :lol:
