Brendan Fehr as Jared Booth?
We’ve finally got some idea of who is going to catch Bone’s eye and ruffle the feathers of the would-be Booth/Bones romance. We’ve been told that Booth’s younger brother is coming to town, and that Bones and he are going to have some kind of a relationship - the kind that spells trouble for any progress they may have made with the Booth-Bones relationship. So just who is this guy? Well, looks like it’s going to be former alien from Roswell, Michael.
When I first read the news on Kristen’s blog from E!, I almost didn’t recognize him. I watched Roswell for the first season or so but then lost interest. I actually had to read down further into the comments to really get a good handle on who he was. And as much as I liked his character on the show, I’m a little disappointed… I know this is the kind of thing that’s completely open to your own opinion, but I thought that he was supposed to be as good looking if not a little more-so than Booth. Personally, he’s not doing it for me. (At least not with this shot.)
Am I being too harsh, or does anyone agree? Still I guess we’ll have to wait and see how he does, I’m sure he’ll carry the character off really well, I have nothing against his acting, so hopefully the writers will give him something really great to work with. Supposedly he’s an “upstanding Navy officer” - so service runs in the family. After this week’s surprise ending, I’m sure they’ll do Booth’s little brother justice! And won’t it be fun to see how they interact and what kind of trouble little brother stirs up - and of course the typical sibling rivalry and stories told on big brother Booth! So far, he’s only signed up for two episodes, but you know how quickly that can change!

I think he could pass as Booth’s brother, he resembles him here a lot indeed, more with that hair cut, and I can’t complain, I loved his character in Roswell so this is double good for me!

I like this casting. I haven’t seen much of Fehr since “Roswell” but I thought he was very good on that. Definitely more interesting than the lead guy.
I think the haircut in that picture is very unflattering. I hoping it’s a bit longer on Bones. I see potential good bantering with Booth.

I haven’t seen roswell it’s a bit out-of-my-time, but When I see Brenden Fehr, my brain goes straight to he’s a retard (because of The Long Weekend) remember the girl says “I think i hit a retarded man” LOL anyways yeah I have to say I think it was a mistake casting him and feel sorry for Emily for the things there prob going to make them do LOL but you know I’m glad there not choosing someone hotter than Booth because that would be a real mistake (and very hard to do) Bahahaha I crack myself up! oh and I also heard that them getting together is going to lead to booth and bones getting closer DUN DUN DUN… we’ll just have to wait and see

I like how he deliver the line “I’ve got you bitch” with the GD. That was the hottest thing I’ve seen on this show.

I’ve been looking for this precise information on this topic for a while.
