Anyway, I was inspired by a comment that Lindsay (Dick, to those unfortunate enough to not know who I'm talking about) made earlier this evening. We were talking about Chuck and how the character Bryce Larkin technically died on that show, but she said, "he didn't really die, he just went into protective services and is now Neil Caffrey who solves crime with the FBI" (okay so those aren't her exact words, but who has the time to memorize exactly what people say (Colton)). So, I thought it would be interesting to take a journey with some of my favorite TV actors through their characters. Here we go:
Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Most of us know him as lovable and oh so charming Zack Morris. He was definitely my first TV crush. Well, apparently when you grow up with privilege (I mean he probably had the first cell phone ever made) what you really turn out to be is a gritty police officer in New York. I really can't understand why someone who got Kelly Kapowski (who is now, btw, married to the FBI agent that Neil Caffrey works with... coincidence?) in high school and made every teenage girl's heart swoon would then grow out his hair and become disgusting, but if you've got something to prove...
David Boreanaz
This one is easy because of course a soulful vampire would want to solve crimes. In fact, I believe Angel tried to help stop other vampires from killing people. And now Special Agent Seeley Booth (sounds like an alias to me) works exclusively with skeletal remains. I think it's because he doesn't want to be tempted by the blood residing in normal cadavers.
Neil Patrick Harris
Barney Stinson's misogynistic ways can clearly be traced back to the fact that he was a doctor by 14. If I grew up with so much power I definitely would be legen... wait for it, wait for it, I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is... dary.
Lauren Graham
She started out as a quirky commitment-phobe with mother issues and now she's a quirky commitment-phobe with daddy issues. I think she's definitely branching out.
Courteney Cox
Well, apparently after Chandler and her moved to the country with their baby(s?) they decided that it just wasn't going to work out because now she's obviously divorced and living the dangerous life of a cougar (if you don't know what that means then you are too far behind in pop culture to even understand this post). Poor Monica, all she ever wanted was someone to love her.
Rainn Wilson
This Tim Alan loving alien turned out all right. He now sells paper and is loving Steve Carell instead. I think it's an improvement, personally. (This one is a stretch because technically I'm referencing a movie...)
And my favorite person right now:
Joshua Jackson
This boy has had a hard life, first he had to learn how to do the Flying V to save the hockey game, and then he had to love Joey Potter. But finally he's grown up and now investigates The Pattern with his nutty professor father and love-of-his-life Olivia. I'm proud of that boy.

This is totally post 51, you cheater. It was also utterly unintelligible. I guess I need to watch more television......?
How about Jeffrey Donovan--first came to my attention as the troubled (creepy) younger brother of "The Pretender" and reinvented himself as a burned spy.
Monica and Chandler adopted twins...so babies! I don't know who my favorite tv character is but I am watching the O.C. right now and absolutely lovin on it! So Benjamin Mckenzie goes from being a bad boy from Chino striking gold with the Cohen family and grows up to be a cop in Summerland (unsure if its even on the air anymore) also a lot of them seem to grow up to be cops?! Odd?
Bethany, Summerland is the show that Jesse McCartney was on. hahaha Benjamin McKenzie is (was?) on Southland. And I understood all of this post and loved every freaking second of it. You're best yet! And I must've totally missed the whole other post thing, oh well.
