Interview with Hart Hanson
We all love David Boreanaz, but what better way to describe him as “an old fashioned kind of guy – Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy, mixed with a little Cary Grant?� That’s just the kind of compliment he received from Bone’s creator Hart Hanson. Emily Deschanel didn’t get stiffed when the compliments were handed out either. “She walked in and she just was the character,� Hanson recalls. “She is smart and beautiful and funny, and she’s slightly different. She’s just left-of-centre as an actress.�
In an interview with Hanson, we get a little look into how Bones came about. Although he had no intention of getting involved with another “procedural drama,� when Fox approached him about the show, they pitched it to him in such a way that he couldn’t resist. With the help of executive producer Barry Josephson and real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, Hanson signed up and Bones was born.
Hanson talks about the heart that goes into the show, as well as the comic relief. The delicate balance that allows us to treat murder victims and the clues their bodies leave with a little bit of humor without dehumanizing them is something that the show has down perfectly.

[...] Hart Hanson was quoted as saying, “It’s funny because Emily is a good singer…and Brennan is not.” Well, I hope you enjoyed the hilarity of watching Bones perform! It’s a good thing she’s got a good day job! Too bad she couldn’t take Sweets and Booth’s comments to heart, but I understand why she wanted to believe her mom that she sang better than Cyndi Lauper! Too funny! [...]
