I suppose it's a little different for me as I became a DC fan in the early nineties when he was on NYPD Blue. It was because of him that I started to watch CSIM. So, being a DC fan before I was a Horatio fan puts it in a slightly different context.
Even though John Kelly was a great, adorable character who I warmed to immensely, I admit that I was first drawn to him as I thought he was gorgeous!
Yes, it was definitely a crush and has remained so since, but there's more to it than that. DC is a fine actor and I have alot of respect for how he has turned his career around again. I remember feeling so disappointed when he left NYPD Blue!
God bless Anthony Zuiker for deciding that DC would be a good choice for the role of Horatio.
