Scott Wolf looks like a chipmunk.
Does anyone else watch The Nine? The answer is likely yes, but it feels more like a resounding no. For whatever reason, The Nine isn’t really a show that gets talked about (maybe because most people feel like it won’t make it to a second season). My thoery is that no one talks about The Nine because it isn’t a “fun” show. It’s an “adult” show. It tackles heavy topics (life, death, justice, dealing with one’s past mistakes, accepting the future, etc), and never gets bogged down in the trappings of more popular serial dramas (like suspence, action, cliffhangers, and love-interests). The Nine in its emotional subtlety, might in fact be a little too grown-up for network television, which is why I could see it getting the ax any day.
Well that, or the fact that every time I see Scott Wolf in the series (he plays a doctor who — get this! — has some unresolved emotional issues from when he was held hostage for 52 hours) I can’t think of anything but the seven or eight different kinds of rodents he looks like. Not that the man is ulgy. On the contrary. This is one good-looking individual. Though face actually has the structure of a wiskered animal that scavenges for nuts and cheese. Sometimes when he interacts with other characters on the show I’m worried that he’ll start gnawing on their clothes.
I know, I know. This is telelvision, it requires the suspension of disbelief, but still… very rodent-like.
