It’s a battle that every procedural constantly fights. All too often, a character will pop up on the screen, and just by way of the actor’s resume you know that there is far more to the story.

I hate to admit this. If you remember, I’m the one who came up with “Five Ways to Off Kripke” early this year. I don’t like the character. He’s way over the top in a show which tends to already have over the top kind of characters. The speech impediment is my main turn-off. Oh, […]
