The Mentalist actor plays it straight

Tim Kang interview with some Mentalist Season 4 snippets shown in excerpts below.

 

Excerpts:

After Patrick Jane shot his archenemy Red John at the end of the last series, Kang says the new season starts with a serious change in the team dynamic.

 

"Because of Jane's antics, we're a little more wary and cautious about who he is and whether it's worth closing cases and associating him with the investigations," he says. "Towards the middle and the end of the season that will start to straighten out. Right off the bat it's all going to be treated with kid gloves. What happened has left the team second-guessing themselves. Who is he and are we doing the right thing?"

 

Cho is now going to have to take a long hard look at how far he's willing to go and how far he's willing to bend and break some of the rules," Kang says. Kang has been clamouring for his character to get a little meatier and this season that looks like it will come in the form of revealing more about his personal life. The season-long arc is going to include a new love interest and a personal crisis which is "going to cause Cho to have to dig deep to get himself out of that mess". "I think it will go a long way to explaining why he is the way he is; why he's a humourless and serious guy."
