Simon Baker, Rufus Sewell, Elisabeth Reaser & Kyle Bornheimer at the Early Show (CBS Fall Lineup) - I think this dates from 2008, but I don't remember seeing it before.

Ok I never had heard of those other shows. It really makes you think that actually managing to be successful in the first series is really hard. So ad it was the Metalist tho!

November 2009 - SAG Foundation conversation
(Another old one I don't remember seeing before, and I think for a couple of moments Simon gets very emotional when he mentions his best friend John)

I hadn't seen this before. Great find Fran!!! I just don't understand what his friend John told him. Can anybody please tell?
Thanks so much for finding it, Fran.

His friend told him "Let your smile be your umbrella", and Simon ads that he took that literally for his character of Patrick Jane.
I think he talked about his best friend who died of a liver cancer in 2009 or 2010.

Thank you Fran for posting that, it's very interesting. I see that SAG has made DVD with this series of "Conversations", and there's a Simon Baker DVD too, but apparently theyare only available for librairies…

Thanks Fran for posting !
If his friend told him "Let your smile be your umbrella" it seems like the smile is a protection, as for hiding ???? dry

My take is that SB used that to influence his interpretation of the character of Patrick Jane. Jane gets through the day with a shield of humor, both to hide his despair from others and to keep it from crushing him.

Thanks Fran. He is a person of great sensitivity so that he's a great artist. I love his excitement when he mentions his best friend. Simon is a special guy.
