‘General Hospital’ actor Graham Shiels appears on ‘The Mentalist’ tonight
"The Mentalist’ was a blast to shoot with Simon Baker. He's a real comedian and has a flare for improv. So much so that I broke many times when shooting with him--as did the crew. I guess the show has run a while now so he's very loose and confident and likes to mix it up with the crew--otherwise it makes for long days and weeks shooting when you're on a show for years and years. But he makes it fun and I'm sure the production staff appreciates it as well as do his fellow actors. He's no doubt a star in the grandest sense of the word. A really genuine, nice guy. The supporting cast, Robin Tunney, Tim Kang, and Owain Yeoman, were all very gracious and welcoming, too.
