I am not a big fan of his to begin with so I personally think they are hyping a whole lot of nothing. I used to watch Third Watch and he was much to do about nothing on that show. All he ever did was lose his shirt...oh wait that is what he does in his very first full episode of this show
He is nothing but eye candy b/c his acting isn't all that great and I certainly hope all this hype on part of the writers doesn't backfire b/c if it does, they are going to piss off a lot of fans. He needs to make his bones and does not deserve any special treatment over anyone else on the show simply b/c they have hyped his addition to the cast.
I agree. I wish it didn't influence me, but the man has already left a bad taste in my mouth with all of the bad press, and the spotlight that he is putting on CSI: Miami. He will have to work damn hard for me to believe his is a credible actor and not just another pretty face. And to TPTB, don't even think about putting him before the established stars! You have been warned!
To be honest, I've never seen Cibrian in anything, so I'll be seeing what he is capable of through fresh eyes with no past judgment.
But I do think that whether someone is a good actor/singer/writer, or not, is truly a subjective thing. It's totally through the prespective of the individual and their taste. I don't see what the big deal is about Robert DeNiro. He's good, but I don't think he's by any means the best I've ever seen. Others think he is the very definition of the best actor ever. Some people think Jim Carrey walks on water. I've never found him the least bit funny. Different strokes for different folks.
I always get stuck liking people that I think are really good at what they do, but the critics and/or the public just love kicking the crap out of them(Caruso (acting), David Duchovny (writing/directing/acting), Barry Manilow (musician - not for the "hits" but for music most of the public will never hear). I notice when problems/speculation in their personal lives hit the media. And I feel bad for them. But it's not for me to pass judgment on them. Maybe because I've had my fair share of people passing judgment on me when they don't have all of the relevant information to make an informed decision.
I feel horrible for them that their problems are always played out in the public so everyone can give an opinion - and we never have all the facts. I always wonder how our personal lives and decisions would fare under the same microscope. Or if a lot of us would have the strength of character to withstand the public onslaught. To be honest, I don't think I would.
I am calling it now; a one year wonder like Tara. I just don't see him having the chemistry, after having watched him in other shows, to fit into this show. Especially if the fans get ticked off.
I hear what you're saying,
delkolover! :lol: Then again, there is always a seqment of the fans of this show who are angry about something. I'm thinking TPTB really don't pay much attention to what our feeling are.
I would just like to see everyone give Cibrian a fair chance. I guess we'll have to wait and see if the "chemistry" thing appears. Then again, another subjective thing. We've had the "chemistry" discussion, and who sees it and who doesn't, a lot in the last couple of seasons.
And right now....all he is bringing them is bad press. If I read one more article about how he had an affair and how he is defending that he is a good dad even though he had an affair I will scream. I could care less about his personal life but when they describe him in the articles as "the CSI Miami star...." it pisses me off. B/c now the show is being associated with his personal crap and it ain't nice personal crap.
Yeah, his personal life does seem to be the focus of the media. As I said before, I'm not going to pass judgment when I don't have all the facts. The "affair" (and yes, anyone having an affair sucks) is between him and his wife and none of my business. Bad judgment like this runs rampant thoughout our society. It certainly isn't unique to their relationship.
But it is "news" to the gossip columns and a lot of the public. I have a feeling that TPTB have told him to face it head on and put the best spin he can on it (hence the, "I'm a good dad."). If he didn't have their blessing to address the issue when asked about it, I sincerely doubt he would be responding to their questions. Especially when he's the new kid and he needs the fans to be pulling for him to succeed. And he does seem to have a "scripted" response to the inquiries.
Actually the one interview that I saw where he addressed the issue, he didn't look happy at all to be doing it, but resigned that it was necessary.
And you're right about any media hype that mentions him as the "the CSI Miami star",
delkolover! I
t's wrong, it's unfair to the current cast and it only serves to start him off in a negative way with the fans.
Stepping off my soapbox! Back to our spoilers! And I will get back to them as soon as a get a few moments! I used up the little bit of time I had.
(Bet you're all really glad about that! :lol
