Simon Baker
Age 40
Leading Man-What makes these A-Listers so sexy we asked their adoring female costars.
"I won't mention Simon's hair because frankly I'm sick of speaking and hearing about that man's hair. Hair does not make a man sexy. I will say that Simon has a fantastic smile, and the reason that it melts the hearts of so many is because it's genuine. Simon likes to have a laugh; his grin is effortless, and as a result infectious."-Robin Tunney his The Mentalist costar.

Thanks T for the news.
Another more insidious phantom, the serial killer known as Red John, re-emerges this week on an especially intense episode of CBS’s hit crime drama The Mentalist. It starts off like the usual lark, with two of the CBI agents cuddling in bed before everyone is called to a crime scene, where a corpse is found in a cemetery crypt naked except for a bushel of strategically placed flowers.
The light tone takes a drastic dark turn when an even more shocking crime is discovered on their home turf that hits everyone hard—especially Patrick Jane, who’s frozen in shock as he once again takes the measure of the nemesis who slaughtered his wife and child. Many weeks, you might think Simon Baker coasts on his star charisma to make this show a winner. This week, he earns that Emmy nomination he got last season (as a reward for the show’s breakout status) as Jane takes such extreme measures to get closer to the elusive menace of Red John—no smirking this time—that he’s eventually forced to see he’s not that much different
“The way you look at people and see right through them, that’s just spooky,” Jane is told by a person of interest, who has fallen under the master criminal’s spell. Red John, we’re told, is on a mission. And so is Jane, whose pain resurfaces in a pivotal episode that also gives some fine moments to Terry Kinney (as Jane’s FBI adversary), Gregory Itzin (as the bureau’s Special Agent in Charge) and Robin Tunney as Lisbon, Jane’s long-suffering overseer.
The Mentalist usually feels like the light soufflé that comes at the end of a long and busy Thursday night of TV. This week, it’s more like the main course.
Simon got a GQ award
PETRIE policeman Wayne Cummings last night received the first GQ Man of Chivalry 2009 award at a glittering presentation in Sydney.
Senior Constable Cummingswas nominated by GQ magazine readers for his work as a member of Queensland’s Disaster Victim Identification Squad.

The Mentalist” star Simon Baker and producer Mark Johnson have teamed up to acquire feature rights to the Tim Winton novel “Breath.”
Baker and Johnson will produce together, and Baker plans to play one of the lead roles. They will set a director before setting up funding.
Published in 2008, the novel is set in a small town in Western Australia, where two 16-year old boys take up surfing under the tutelage of an enigmatic surfer named Sando (Baker) and his mysterious wife. Spurred on by their mentor, the boys test the limits of courage and recklessness both on the water and off as they try to escape their mundane lives.
Winton, one of Australia’s top authors, won the Miles Franklin Award for the book, the fourth time he’s won the honor. His 2001 novel “Dirt Music,” is being turned into a film by Phillip Noyce, and “Cloudstreet” is being turned into a miniseries by Screentime.
Johnson and Baker first teamed on the CBS legal drama “The Guardian.” Baker, who has been surfing the waters off Australia since childhood, was last seen on the big screen in “The Devil Wears Prada” and next stars in “The Killer Inside Me,” the Michael Winterbottom-directed adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel.
“Winton’s book beautifully captures the excitement and brutality of growing up in a way I’ve only experienced but have never been able to articulate,” Baker said.
Johnson is no stranger to Australia, as he has been camped there while producing the third installment of “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” the third installment of the Chronicles of Narnia series for Fox 2000 and Walden Media. He also wrapped the remake of “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” in Melbourne for Miramax, with Guy Pearce and Katie Holmes starring. Johnson produced the latter with Guillermo del Toro.
“While `Breath’ is at its heart a coming of age story, I see it primarily as a celebration of teenage anarchy and a youthful rejection of anything that smacks of the ordinary,” Johnson said. “It reminds me of a uniquely Australian version of `Y Tu Mama Tambien,’ one of my favorite films of the past dozen years.”
IPG and Jenny Darling & Associates repped Winton.

Red John Returns
Source : TV Guide Magazine
Date：Nov 16,2009
By Michael Logan
Tragedy is about to strike The Mentalist with a massacre inside the headquarters of the California Bureau of Investigation-and it turn out to be the work of Red John ! The ad, mythic, never-seen serial killer has haunted the CBS crime drama since its premiere episode. Police consultant Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) lost his wife and child to this heinous slayer, who is notorious for leaving behind a smiley face drawn with the blood of his victims. Things got extra creepy last season when Red John was able to infiltrate the CBI computer system. When he launches his lethal attack on the CBI office in the November 19 episode, it appears he has an accomplice on the inside.
“If you’re going to watch on episode of The Mentalist this year, this is the one,” says the show’s creator, Bruno Heller. “Red John comes back and strikes right in the heart of CBI, and an agent we know and love will die. It’s big and shocking and will cause many changes at CBI from that moment on.” It’ll also light an even hotter fire under Jane, who has made the hunt for Red John his life’s mission. “Because of all the people who go down in this tragedy, Jane is longer after Red John just for his own vengeance—he’s now avenging so much more,” Baker says. “What happens at CBI makes us realize how frighteningly close he is to everything and everybody, yet he remains so unattainable. It’s powerful stuff.”
The episode kicks off innocently—and sexily—enough when viewers get their first glimpse of secret CBI lovers Rigsby (Owain Yeoman and Van Pelt(Amanda Righetti) in bed at Van Pelt’s apartment. Alas, their bliss is brief. The two are summoned, along with Jane, to mausoleum where the body of a dead naked guy has been found under a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There is a bullet hole in his forehead and a bouquet of flowers strategically tucked in his crotch. Evidence shows that the man was killed elsewhere, then frozen and brought to this cemetery.
“At first, it will seem to be a under that’s not connected to anything, but then the case twists in another direction,” notes coexec producer Ashley Gable, who wrote the episode. “Jane’s Spidey sense tells hi Red John is involved.”
Heller reveal that the episode will also include a “very moving denouement” for agents Bosco(Terry Kinney) and Lisbon(Robin Tunney). We’ve been led to believe they had some sort of romantic entanglement several years ago. “You will find out that the relationship was never consummated but was, in fact, only in their head,” Heller says. “Bosco was very much in love with Lisbon. But he was also a happily married man, so he didn’t go there. And Lisbon kind of loved him even more for not going there. It was a very delicate thing, a relationship of looks and glances and things unspoken.”
That’s a lot of horror, sadness and poignancy for a show that’s made its mark off Jane’s twinkly charm and naughty antics. :Oh, don’t worry,” says Baker. “Sometimes we’re heavy-handed; sometimes we do an episode that’s more like The Love Boat. We don’t stay serious for long.”

Interview with Owain Yeoman
Keck: Do you think the others on the team are on to your taboo affair?
Owain: It’s an interesting question. Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), of course, has the jump on everyone. I think he knew before even we did. Jane called it in the pilot when he turned around and said, ‘Why doesn’t Rigsby invite you to his bedroom?’ And then I proceeded to choke on a lobster. I think what you’re going to see over the next several episodes is Jane enjoying that leverage.
