An actor has been selected to play  Detective  Sam Bosco, Teresa

Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) mentor as she was coming up through the ranks

-and whom she even dated for a while at one time.







Total surprise, I can't imagine him as Lisbon's previous love interest.

Patrick Jane should have a field day reading this guy: Former Oz actor

Terry Kinney is joining The Mentalist as an ex of Lisbon's (Robin

Tunney) and a major player in the Red John investigation, sources

confirm to me semi-exclusively.



Kinney, who most recently starred in ABC's short-lived cop dramedy The

Unusuals, will play the recurring role of Sam Bosco, a by-the-book

California Bureau of Investigations agent who heads up the division

overseeing the Red John case. Bosco served as Lisbon's mentor as she was

coming up through the ranks, during which they shtupped once or twice

(or a lot). Further complicating matters: The two share a deep, dark

secret!



Bosco is also one of the few people immune to P.J.'s charms. He hates

his unorthodox methods and is determined to oust him from the CBI.



Good times all around!



Kinney's deal calls for him to appear in at least seven episodes.



The Mentalist kicks off its second season (its first in its new Thursday

time slot) on Sept. 24

I think that picture doesnt make him any justice, or what I remember of him

in Oz.

Wow, they totally went a different way!  I thought they might cast someone who

would be tall, dark and handsome.  A bit of an opposite from Patrick Jane, and

could give him a run for the money in the 'hunky' (for lack of a better word!)

department. hmmmm

I'm not familiar with the actor they've chosen for the role. Why another

Australian? I'm sure there are American actors who could fill this part.



I guess I was looking for someone tall, dark and handsome too Lori. Another

Simon, only dark. :-)

According to IMDB, Wikipedia, and other sources, Terry Kinney is an American,

born in Illinois. He was a regular on the 1987-88 iconic series

"thirtysomething." He had hair then. Unfortunately, I found him incredibly

annoying in that and haven't seen him in anything since that changed my mind. Do

I sound grumpy? Well, today my Boston Terrier got tangled in my legs,  tripped

me up, I went splat on the ground, sprained my ankle, wrenched my shoulder, and

cracked my head and lay there like a flipped-over bug until my husband heard me

screaming and rescued me. Resting on ice now and still don't like Terry Kinney.

Kinney is not Australian, but he was in the TV show "Oz" which may explain

the confusion. ;)



I haven't seen Oz, but I've seen him in other stuff here and there and he's

a good actor.



I suspect Kinney's casting means that Bosco's arrival does not signal the

beginning of some soapy romantic triangle thing; instead we will be seeing a

clash of personalities on the job and additional conflict when Jane (and

Lisbon) are told the Red John case is no longer their responsibility.  In

fact, I anticipate Jane going ballistic.  This should be interesting stuff

for Simon as an actor.  What happens when the thing you want the most -- the

very thing you live for -- is snatched away from you?



  -- Paula

I usually root for the underdog, the over looked one,  but in this instance, 

NO,  he looks too meally and not too attractive to boot,  I dont might some

chub,  but I just think they could have chosen a better well known person to

play the Ex hottie in Lisbon's life

I'm not familiar with the actor they've chosen for the role. Why another

Australian? I'm sure there are American actors who could fill this part.



I guess I was looking for someone tall, dark and handsome too Lori. Another

Simon, only dark. :-)

An actor has been selected to play Detective Sam Bosco, Teresa

Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) mentor as she was coming up through the ranks

-and whom she even dated for a while at one time.



Total surprise, I can't imagine him as Lisbon's previous love interest.

Patrick Jane should have a field day reading this guy: Former Oz actor

Terry Kinney is joining The Mentalist as an ex of Lisbon's (Robin

Tunney) and a major player in the Red John investigation, sources

confirm to me semi-exclusively.



Kinney, who most recently starred in ABC's short-lived cop dramedy The

Unusuals, will play the recurring role of Sam Bosco, a by-the-book

California Bureau of Investigations agent who heads up the division

overseeing the Red John case. Bosco served as Lisbon's mentor as she was

coming up through the ranks, during which they shtupped once or twice

(or a lot). Further complicating matters: The two share a deep, dark

secret!



Bosco is also one of the few people immune to P.J.'s charms. He hates

his unorthodox methods and is determined to oust him from the CBI.



Good times all around!



Kinney's deal calls for him to appear in at least seven episodes.



The Mentalist kicks off its second season (its first in its new Thursday

time slot) on Sept. 24

According to IMDB, Wikipedia, and other sources, Terry Kinney is an American,

born in Illinois. He was a regular on the 1987-88 iconic series

"thirtysomething." He had hair then. Unfortunately, I found him incredibly

annoying in that and haven't seen him in anything since that changed my mind. Do

I sound grumpy? Well, today my Boston Terrier got tangled in my legs, �tripped

me up,�I went splat�on the ground, sprained my ankle, wrenched my shoulder,

and cracked my head and lay there like a flipped-over bug until my husband heard

me screaming and rescued me. Resting on ice now and still don't like Terry

Kinney. :-+� Shoshie

I'm sure that's what confused me Paula. :-)



I did watch quite a few episodes of Oz over the years, but don't remember that

particular actor.



Your synopsis of what may happen in the upcoming season sounds right on the

mark. I'd much prefer that to any soppy romantic stuff between the main

characters.

Kinney is not Australian, but he was in the TV show "Oz" which may explain

the confusion. ;)



I haven't seen Oz, but I've seen him in other stuff here and there and he's

a good actor.



I suspect Kinney's casting means that Bosco's arrival does not signal the

beginning of some soapy romantic triangle thing; instead we will be seeing a

clash of personalities on the job and additional conflict when Jane (and

Lisbon) are told the Red John case is no longer their responsibility.  In

fact, I anticipate Jane going ballistic.  This should be interesting stuff

for Simon as an actor.  What happens when the thing you want the most -- the

very thing you live for -- is snatched away from you?
