My Take
I have a real soft spot for T. J. Thyne, and it's almost entirely because of Dr. Jack Hodgins on Bones — that lovably paranoid, conspiracy-obsessed entomologist who somehow became one of the most emotionally resonant characters in the whole twelve-year run. Thyne, a Boston native who studied at USC, has that rare gift of making a supporting role feel indispensable; every time Hodgins got a big storyline — the Gravedigger arc, the paralysis storyline — he delivered, and you remembered exactly why ensemble shows live or die by their benchwarmers. He never chased blockbuster fame, just kept showing up and doing the work, and honestly that kind of quiet, consistent craft deserves a lot more credit than it typically gets.
