Re: Laurence/Raymond: The New Guy
He did an amazing job in 19 Down. It feels like that kind of quality acting is one of those things that falls into the Supreme-court-porn-opinion category of 'I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.' I can't put my finger on every little nuance he clearly mastered within the episode, but I could still tell that it took such a talented actor to really deliver that sort of performance. He just made it work, and I really can't imagine many actors (maybe not even WP) making it work so well. I honestly don't mean this as Horatio/Caruso-bashing, but I can't imagine Caruso pulling that performance off. Bravo for another brilliant CSI Vegas frontman! There were so many scenes in previews where it felt like most people would have turned the character into a stereotypical 'new guy,' but LF really delivered, and made the character his own, distinct man. I'm so excited to see where TPTB take his character. I see bright things in the future.
