    - We don't admit that there is a role at all. And if it is, we don't admit that a better actor exists. And if it does, we don't admit he is among us. And if he is, he's from another planet! James Spader is just him here! GOAT!! :D

    • @mediagod2004

      Once Lukas Reiter & James Spader found each other, there was no stopping them. And through "The Practice", "Boston Legal", and now on "The Blacklist", still Reiter/Spader rule. Not much has been said about them being a dynamic duo which is surprising as there must be some reason those two brilliant minds are hip to hip for all these years.
      And much agreed....even in this video from the ALWAYS talented +Lachka, it centers on the show's levity but the writers/producers were very, shall we say, Liberal, in their points of view. They spoke on just about every topic one could legally touch on from murder to stuffing one's own Mother's head and mounting it (that would be 'The Practice')....but you get my point.
      'Boston Legal' had a ton of super emotional moments no matter how funny it may have been it was definitely a poignant show which is why it garnered as many Emmy nods and wins as it did. Just with Spader alone, he broke the mold being nominated and winning having two shows being up at one time...a first for Emmy historians.
      Sorely missed but as with all good things......fortunately, with a much darker turn, we still have Mr. Spader on "The Blacklist", and he delivers just as great a performance. He and the creators mix inside the character Raymond 'Red' Reddington, the same kind of humor and serious qualities of Alan Shore with similar morality as well, except in this current role, instead of being a sex driven attorney, he tends to kill people more than have sex with them. Heh. Never the less, it makes for awesome television and whomever liked him as Alan Shore all those years MUST taste him as Red on "The Blacklist". NBC, Thursdays at 10PM (EST) (UTC +5) - If you haven't seen it yet, you really must give it a go and do not deny yourself watching at least the Pilot episode found on Netflix and I am sure floating around elsewhere on the Internet.
      Be well, be kind, be blessed!

      It's more a testament to James Spader's awesome acting. He always finds some quirky traits in a character and somehow he translates this, through his mannerism and voice, into ambiguity. It intrigues us and makes us both love and dislike the character. Have not seen any other actor do this as well as Mr Spader.

    What was so badly needed is for Alan Shore to prosecute Dr. House in court.

    Gosh, I loved this show! James Spader was amazing as Alan Shore, and he continues the good work as Reddington. Pity we live in times that don't exactly favour political incorrectness, in which his characters always excelled :-)
