A different Hogdins? Never!
Who would have guessed, TJ Thyne almost didn’t consider the part of “regular” Jack Hodgins. I can’t imagine anyone other than TJ as the bug and dirt loving Hodgins, and I’m so glad he reconsidered! In a recent interview with tvaddict.com, Thyne admitted that throughout his career he had continutally avoided roles that would put him in the part of a “regular.” He said he would get to the studio to try out a part and think, “‘I can’t spend 6 years on a show playing the same character, I can’t do it!…’ To me, the idea of playing different [characters] in different genres was always what I wanted to do.”
It’s a good think he was so impressed with the Bones script! Apparently, the character, script and co-stars were enough of a draw for Thyne. He admits he’s glad he took the risk and is greatly enjoying playing Jack Hodgins.
“Jack’s got a lot of different layers, we’ve got an amazing cast, great writing and [series creator] Hart Hanson is a genius in terms of being a showrunner.â€?
Having previously worked with David Boreanaz on several episodes of Angel and Micheala Conlin on MDs, Thyne had a pretty good idea of who he’d be working with. Regardless of past camaraderie, the entire cast makes a great team, and I am so glad that Thyne took the role!
