^ Of course everyone has their own opinion but Jon/Ryan is gorgeous now in 2009 and I'm sure he will look gorgeous with salt and pepper hair also in 2020.
Jon helped himself fill out nicely with exercising(lifting weights,running etc.)
Jon has been on the show for several years and has not gone over the edge,he seems to keep a low profile.
I've never read anything bad about him at all.
Well, sometimes understatements are rather great compliments! So in plainer terms: I like Mr.Wolfe very much and consider him the most interesting character on CSI Miami, because he was created grey (not white like H.the Hero or Black like the Villains...he's just a very human grey, which makes him...well...highly interesting!)
And if Mr.Togo behaves reasonable....so much te better. It would be sad to see him spoil his talent...which he undoubtedly has. It is not easy to convey such a large range of emotions with eyes only...but he manages and he makes it appear 'honest' (not just acting).
I did like him a lot in the earlier seasons, when he was still....well..boyish would be the right word. DO not understand me wrong. That is no criticism at all. In season 3 the actor was about 25 at my estimate. But I have to admit, that 'a little bit more grown up and male' suits him excessively well. And I appreciate the rather 'tougher' Wolfe. There is still emphaty and concern in him, while on the other side he's become very much self-assured and so to say...as I imagine a younger Horatio.
I believe the screenwriters did this on purpose: H. attitude towards Ryan gives us the possibility to assume that he sees a lot of his own younger self in this CSI. And as the tale goes on, we have an occasion to see certain mistakes that H. made in his younger days...and they are not so different from the things Ryan does.
I have a speculation for Season 8 about this: Considering Going Ballistic and Ressurection, followed by 7:13 and 7:20, I would not be surprised to see Ryan falling up the ladder (I am not sure that they can easily and quickly reintegrate Delko after his stunt with Sherova in 7:25 and Calleigh seems very much affected and perhaps on her way out of the show)
