Simon Baker

Nominee Image for Simon Baker

Nomination:

Simon Baker first caught America’s attention as the earnest, ill-fated aspiring actor in 1997’s neo-noir thriller “L.A. Confidential.” The native Australian went on to land a lead in the CBS crime-drama hit “The Guardian" (2001-04) which helped solidify his celebrity status stateside. In 2008, CBS again found a home for Baker on another procedural “The Mentalist” (2008- ) as lead character Patrick Jane, a fraudulent psychic who taps the keen observational and cold-reading skills he once used to bedazzle customers to assist cops in solving crimes. This year, thanks to his perfect portrayal of the devilishly arrogant character, he’s up for an Emmy – the first nomination of his career.

    Besides, I think that Hugh Laurie and his character are SCARY. Can't even stand to watch the show House.

    He is talented and uses his inner dialogue to express the part he is playing to best advantage. His character development is delightful, funny, and different. The American accent is flawless! I was surprised when I first heard him speak out of character. What his his acting background?

    Simon Baker should win this. He has a very lovable character to play, he uses his facial expressions to convey so much -- that has to be difficult -- not to mention he's the Sexiest man on Earth. That smile -- he's a Perfect 10! :-) For once, I will be watching the Emmy's.

    Simon doesn't have to have a script every second on screen. His glances and facial expressions complete his acting.

    If you haven't completely blocked out last year's debacle of an Emmy presentation (during which five reality hosts took turns doling out hokey lines), and you caught any of this year's show hosted by the charming Neil Patrick Harris, then you know: What a difference a year makes. more »
