Lost’s crossover character on Bones
I’m a TV geek. I’ll admit, I’m addicted to TV. As much as I hope and pray I can raise my kids to love the outdoors more than the video games their dad loves, I’m afraid that I don’t have much of an example to set by myself. Maybe that’s why I get such a kick out of seeing crossover characters. I don’t mean when story lines of different shows cross - as they did occasionally in Buffy and Angel episodes - such as when Seth Green had a guest appearance on Angel with the explanation of being on an errand for Buffy. I mean when you see a character who’s not a regular and think, I recognize them from somewhere… This week’s episode The Man in the Mud was just such an episode. I immediately recognized the lawyer, and it didn’t take long to put him in his correct show.
Booth and Bones, meet Mr. Tom Friendly, AKA one of the “Others” on Lost. This week on Bones, he played Braxton Smalls, the lawyer for the the Fitz family. Oh, “he” is M.C. Gainey, and the rest of his resume is forever long. This guy’s another one who’s been in everything!
Another face you might have recognized this past Monday was none other than one of the Lawrence brothers. You remember Joey, right? As in Joey Lawrence - from Blossom? (And from a very abbreviated music career… Sorry, couldn’t help myself - I had to post the video… Now I guess we all understand why he ducked out of the music scene and stuck to acting. How old is this thing anyway?)
Well, the youngest Lawrence brother Andrew played Tim, the kid who took his girlfriend up to the mud pit at the beginning of the episode looking to get lucky. Guess he got more than he bargained for, huh?
