Thank you, ladies.
While I'm delighted to have something in the way of promos, and I do appreciate the cut of the pants in that full length picture, it's one of the few pics of Baker I've ever seen where the smile doesn't go quite to his eyes. The one in the trees, however, I love. |

Translation! Here it is (but warning: I don't speak Spanish) 
TELEPROGRAMA.TV / 3-5-2014
Simon Baker 'The Mentalist' is back: 'I feel lost without Red John'
All the news from the sixth season of the series (contains spoilers).
His great enemy is down
For five seasons the villain of 'The Mentalist' has left a trail of deaths (including the wife and daughter of the protagonist), anguish and pain. So the public shares with Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) the desire to get over with him.
In the next episode broadcast by TNT and released Wednesday 12 on the Six Channel, the expected face to face happens as well as an unusual moment when the murderer dies from the hands of his pursuer. It will be the eighth episode of the series.
Uncertain Future
Suddenly this brings many questions: what will now be the reason to live for Jane? Can he go on with his life and fall in love again? And will the series continue, now that his archenemy is dead?
"The decision to kill him was made two years ago, but we hope it will look as if it occurs naturally," says Baker, who refused to speculate on his identity: "When I saw the list of suspects, we hoped that Quentin Tarantino was on it (laughs). I did not read beyond the first few scripts to avoid knowing. But for the first time there was something tangible after so much improvisation. "
Happy with the finale
However, Baker did not hide his disappointment when he discovered the name: "It was frightening to think the killer could be the guy you see every day on your way to work, or the neighbor watering his lawn...
And he falls in that category. This intrigue became something mystical, but I'm really happy with the way we accomplished it. "
Eager to vengeance
And he does not allow ethical judgments: "I was looking for revenge and I got revenge. This is not an act of intelligence or double standards. It's what the fans wanted and what we gave them. At this point, it would have been dishonest not to do it. "
The same illusion
For the actor this season has been very intense: "I have regained the enthusiasm of the early seasons, because every week everything was new and fresh and leading somewhere."
After the excitement came the time of uncertainty: "At one fell swoop I kill the murderer and in some way the show as well."
Nothing will ever be the same
At least it's obvious that it leaves behind many things: "The connection was very strong and it's necessary to bury many memories. I take it personally, because Jane has suffered and is very vulnerable. His sense of cheeky humor, which is confused with bravado, has been his defensive weapon. "
A new life
Now he feels "a bit lost". A new life begins, but what does Jane want? Baker says: "When Red John died a part of the character died with him, and it takes a while to return. Jane has no family or relationship with anyone except his CBI fellows. His obsession ends and there will be no reference to it in the upcoming episodes - the word "red" has disappeared from the titles -, something I didn't want to know. "
Time jump
In addition, the plot holds another surprise that disturbs him. After the killer demise, there is a leap in time. "It's a challenge, but the story gets even more fun and more interesting."
A common man
In spite of the success that the series brought him, the actor is suspicious by nature. "I guess it has to do with my working class roots - born Australian, he is the son of a gardener and a teacher. Though I have made around twenty films, most people know me as The Mentalist. I can only be grateful for this, but when everything is going too well, I cannot stop thinking that there might also be something fishy going on. "
Enjoying maturity
He played in the romantic comedy 'I give them a year' by Dan Mazer that was released last year, and has been involved in the Canadian series 'Arctic Air' (?) (I think they confused him with his homonym the canadian actor).
But money has not changed him: "I'm not 20, I am lucid and my experience helps me. I've matured. 44 is probably the best age, but I worried about ageing. For me it's not easy.
Some things are weary: being permanently busy, do not knowing how to manage the success... As I have so much energy, I give myself thoroughly and I wear myself out. "
Insecure and shy
It has to do with his anxious and perfectionist nature: "I've always been insecure, I'm hard on myself and I am never satisfied with my work. I look back on everything a hundred times and I wonder if I could have improved it. That happens to me constantly. "
And, apparently, without the mask of the actor, his shyness leads to despair : "There comes a point where I can not stand the pressure from the look of others, and I have to run and hide."
To calm his anxiety, he meditates : "I do it several times a week. I force myself to stop and go into myself. I've learned to do it by myself. "
A gentleman
What is a gentleman?: "I've always tried to be one. As a kid I have been taught to have good manners, to look at people in the eye when you shake hands, open the door to the ladies, be respectful, courteous, curious... Am I always acting perfectly? No, because I'm human, but I always try. "
These efforts has made him one of the sexiest men in the world and a major advertising claim. Although he says he has been slow to realize the worth of his work: "I had never been taught how to negotiate and gradually, I learned the value of an actor."
A normal life
Polite and paying attention, his obsession is to look normal: "I refuse to have my little fame affecting my way of living and enjoying myself. And it bothers me when people do not act naturally with me, or listen to everything I say while constantly staring at me. "
Looking for love
So in this new stage you would like Patrick Jane character to act naturally. The key is to regain his love life: "It's time to start a relationship with Lisbon, probably stronger than they have had. It's true that you have to take a break and think about it in a way that you have never done before. He will decline the FBI offer from to be a consultant again, because he wants to move from that previous world, but he also long for company. "
Back into Action
This need becomes obvious when, in a lost island in South America, he meets a woman (Emily Swallow), who will escort him when he moves into action in the tenth episode: "He suddenly begins to look around him. "
A seventh season?
No decision has been made yet regarding the future of 'The Mentalist' beyond the sixth season. Everything depends on the audience rates.
"I've put so much of myself in this show and I have developed a strong bond with my teammates. So if it all ends tomorrow, I feel very proud and happy, a perfect state to move on. "
Who is the murderer?
One of these six characters is the murderer who pursued Jane since the beginning of the series, and
whose disappearance will change Jane's life.
[…] Didn't bother to translate the description of the suspects, yes I'm that lazy, but you know them!
A wedding in the middle of the hunt
The hunt for John Red
narrows in the new chapters that include the wedding of Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), and the addition of two characters: the former agent Kim Fischer (Emily Swallow) and Dennis Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar), supervisor of the FBI.
To start the game, Patrick Jane creates a fake list of suspects, and gets a decisive clue when a victim reveals that the murderer
has a three dots tattoo. After fulfilling his revenge, he will flee to an island until he returns two years later to
join his team...
He has directed four episodes
Simon Baker get behind the camera again to direct the episode
following the death of Red John: "It was almost like a pilot episode. Jane comes back from paradise and his former team is scattered. I had fun doing it, it was a relief after so much stress. "
The perfect man?
"Elegance is an attitude". It's the slogan the watch brand
Longines choosed and it fits well to Simon Baker. The actor jokes about this feature: "I can appreciate the aesthetics, especially in women, but my style is simple. I can hide into my characters. "
Always gallant, he's proud of his family. He has concerns regarding new technologies, when he watches how his three kids relate, "They can be together without speaking for hours because they are focused on their mobile."
His family
The actor with his wife, Australian actress Rebecca Rigg, and his children Stella, 21, Claude, 15 and Henry, 12.
The Walk of Fame
The Mentalist has a star on the Walk of Fame.

Thank you so much for posting and translating. Looking at the full length photo, I cannot but look at his poor kicks. 12 years is a long time and they have a lot of miles on them. Maybe we should send him some new shoes to go with his new socks. |
