Breaks my heart! He is so deserving! I wonder if it is because he was nominated once before! |

Quote (Fran) Is it OK if I now post the comments you've made here as an entry in that section?
Absolutely! I hope the pics are still there. What can I say - I truly fell in love with this man that day. Liked him before, loved him after. I wish there were a way to clone the man - I would want to be first in line but am sure others would be there before me. What a great hubby, dad, brother, son, friend, co-worker he is...I am sure he has faults but I have not seen any.
BTW, Smells luscious - like a freshly bathed damp baby even after working all day in 85 degree heat. Amazing....I don't think even Givenchy could bottle that.

Quote (June) There's no Emmy nomination for Simon or another member of The Mentalist. It's what expected but I would have liked to see Simon finally on the list. Damn it!
Ditto. I read a great comment from an industry insider that basically said the best actor in the industry will not receive any nominations if they work in a crime procedural. It does not matter HOW good an actor is; outside of the first year of airing, they will not be nominated. I gave up hoping for Simon receiving any attention after reading the comment. I was watching him last night - he has SUCH good instincts - the slight looking off to the side, the shrug of the shoulder, the incredible NUANCE of his performances. AND he is SO DIFFERENT in all the roles he does. Jeff in SMITH is SO DIFFERENT from NICK who is SO DIFFERENT from Jane. My favorite role so far - Something New. He is very much like that character....so sensitive, so caring, so down to earth, so sensitive to the reactions/emotions of others....I WANT this man!! (Sorry - a single senior's moment...  )
BTW, he was VERY curious about his fan base. I mentioned to him that there was a group (went by Baker Babes at the time) all over the world - had he heard of us?? NO!! WHAT is the average age???? (obviously aware of age brackets and advertisers) - I guessed about 30-35 yrs of age. And WHERE is this group?? All over the world, Asia, Europe, USA, especially in the UK (at that time). He was so cool!!! I had a VERY tough time making eye contact - He WAS very much trying to maintain mine! And rubbing my arm the entire time (I got the feeling he must do this with his kids) LOL - two shy people trying to communicate. He succeeded, I had the difficult time...

Kabuky--Amazing story about encountering Simon. I think that the eye contact aspect is one of the things that makes him so sexxxy.....but rubbing your arm at the same time? How did you survive that?! I can hardly breathe just thinking about it.
He indeed, is a rare character......and I'll take one of those clones.
The emmys can go frack themselves! |

Thanks Kabuky - I've posted an entry detailing highlights of your wonderful day, combining some of your original comments with the comments you've made here. I think it makes for great reading, but of course, if there's anything you're not happy with that you'd like me to change, please let me know.

Thanks for sharing Kabuky...always lovely to hear little snippets about Simon. He's such a kind, caring and generous man. The days on set are notoriously long and he must have been tired but he still took the time to chat with you!! Loved the fact that he smelt like a freshly bathed damp baby!! Hmmm! |

I think we all guessed he wouldn't be nominated after a fifth series. Shame but that's the way it is.  |

Oh Kabuky I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes just reading your account of meeting Simon. I guess it's something we all dream about, but know it won't ever happen, so it's good to to live it through your experience-thank you. |
