Aww, come on, guys. Nobody ever downplayed his role in TLADILA -without a doubt one of his finest performances -if not the finest of his career.
The Scene in question happens to be part of the movie, whether we like it or not -and hey really who doesn't like it?
And he's hot in this film, right? Who's gonna say the contrary?
Also -correct me if I'm wrong- but the title of this thread is "William/Grissom: The Hottness Of". So, if we can't discuss this kind of scenes -all the while doing our best to stay out of the gutter, then what can we talk about here?
His acting. Sure. But come to think of it, do you think there would be a "hottness" thread in the first place if we didn't respect him hugely as an actor? We wouldn't even be talking about him if we didn't recognize his acting skills.
Personally, the first time I saw him on screen was when CSI arrived on TV. And back then, it wasn't his looks that drew me in, it's his character -and consequently the actor behind the character.
So before I started drooling all over Grissom/William's good looks, it's his work as a talented actor that kept me hooked to CSI, and eventually led me to explore his career further --> TLADILA, Manhunter ...
Plus, you know, it's the summer, and summer months are usually lonely and hot, and the gutter is a pretty cool place to hang around -thank god season 8 will soon hit our screens
This said, I promise ya I'll try to stick my head out of the gutter from time to time (to tell you the truth, it's pretty dark in there :lol
and talk a little more about Billy's undeniably good acting skills -I WILL however post a full and detailed review of TLADILA next week
