[QUOTE="TPaul, post: 319482, member: 8055"] [B][COLOR=darkred]I have only watched the show a couple of time and happened to turn to it last night. I think the man who played the ALS part, ( isn't he from Criminal Minds?) Did such a wonderful job playing the part. Truly he should win an Emmy or something for his portrayal, he was that good I thought.
