You Know You Want This...

I've always found the whole concept of Jimmy Smits to be amusing. Right from when he started on L.A. Law, through his laughable appearance in Star Wars, to a career guesting on other shows, he's kept on popping up like an unwanted friend on Facebook. Indeed he has led me to coin the phrase 'What the Jimmy Smits is going on ?'. But something has happened. Well two things actually.

First off he went and turned up being all good at acting and stuff in 'The West Wing'. But I thought that maybe that was a fluke and perhaps he had slipped over on something and had been accidentally competent. But then came season three of Dexter, a show that I am becoming rapidly obsessed with, and he appeared again and was not only good, but outstanding as sinister A.D.A. Manuel Prado. In fact he walked off with the entire show despite the other excellent actors in the series. So I thought I should acknowledge this publicly and apologise to the 'Smitster'. You're alright Jimmy, just stay away from George Lucas in the future.
