I’m really excited about this. Finally, a broader audience is going to experience the intensity of Nicholas as a complete psycho! Far too many people missed the Zeitgeist that was My Neighbor’s Secret. I’m not thrilled about the premise of the episode, but damn if the man doesn’t have range.
no coffee has been had in order to be wordy so i’m just going to follow up Em’s statements with a hearty ditto.
I never really liked PP, but I’ll be tuning in for these three … well, DVD-R’ing them
Wow! No sweet, funny Xander. His “crazy eyes” really gave the character the creepy factor. Goose bumps!
I’ve honestly never posted but hope that this message gets to Nicholas Brendon. I am a big Buffy fan and have always loved Xander. But watching Private Practice – he was phenomenal. Although it was a terrifying scene to watch, to see him in such a role was amazing and showed how much he is capable of. Kudos to Nick – he did great and I hope it only leads to more roles, so more people can see him!
It’s playing now!
