Bruno Heller - Radio Interview

 

I posted this in the Forum last night, but having listened to it I'm promoting it to the Home Page. Its long (split into 3 separate segments), but I found it a very intelligent interview, with some interesting insight into Bruno's thoughts on The Mentalist.

Excerpt on youtube (sound & photos only) where Bruno talks about Simon/Robin/Lisbon/Jane:

"Agent Schultz is extremely smart and domineering and has an almost clinical eye for other people’s faults and weaknesses – in other words, she’s the perfect match for Jane”, says creator Bruno Heller. "He, in turn, can’t trust her, because he believes Red John has someone planted in the upper levels of the FBI”.

 

Agent Mancini is "exactly the kind of guy Jane doesn’t like – handsome, authoritarian, charming” notes Heller, "And it doesn’t help that Gabe has a thing for Lisbon and she, despite her best efforts to hide it, clearly has a thing for him. That will certainly have Jane on edge!”

 

This fall’s big arc has Jane battling the two Feds for the right to grill Red John’s captured accomplice Lorelei (Emmanuelle Chriqui). But this week, Ja ... Read more »
