They really play with the ages on this show. They also did this with Mac's character. He and Drew Bedford weren't supposed to be that far apart in age if I remember correctly. Yeah, right
Did TPTB really expect us to believe that there is only a few years between Mac and Drew? All I could think was "That's him off of Dawson's Creek" it just blew my mind. Gary Sinise is in his 50's and Kerr Smith is in his early 30's. As much as I adore Mac (and I do adore him (see what I did there? hehe!!!) ) that is just too hard a push on the senses.
