TV is not easy, because we are not easy… it is extremely difficult for an actor born with standard good looks to be taken seriously at what he does… especially with a comedic background like Thomas Gibson, I remember when I watched the preview of Criminal Minds that I told myself this is the worst casting ever, he is going to get schooled by the others actors….then I read the reviews and I had to see for myself…he was not only convincing in the part of Aaron Hotchner but brought to the team a clear presence of control not only by a smart delivering of the lines in the script pages but by a powerful yet quiet presence of control even in the most uncomfortable of situations… and that my friend is serious talent on the screen.

I think that Thomas Gibson is a great actor. I really liked him when he played Greg in Darma and Greg. I think he did really great with that character and I was not all that surprised to learn that he directed a couple of episodes of the show. I was really happy that he got the one of the lead roles in Criminal Minds. He does a really great with his character Aaron Hotchner. I really have not seen many of the movies that he has done but i would not be the least bit surprised to learn he did a great job with those characters too.

He is one of my favorite actors, since I first saw him on "Criminal Minds". I love the way he portrays "Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner"...
In my opinion Gibson is unbelievable charasmatic!I like it most when he smils - he has a so great smile that they should give him also in CM more chances to show the audience this great mega-watt smile of his!
I also saw him a few days ago on "Raising Waylon", and I think he did a great job there as well...
Well, but maybe it is no surprise that he is a so good actor, considering the date of his birth (the same day as Tom Cruise)...
However, I hope to see him for a long time on Criminal Minds and that there is going to be a new film with him soon as well...

When I started watching CRiminal Minds I instantly fell in love with the character of Hotch portrayed brilliantly by Thomas Gibson. I didn't even realise at first that he was Nieland out of Chicag Hope. Which is proberly a good thing I wasn't so keen on his character in Chicago Hope, but then that's something Thomas agrees on!
He gives such constantly brilliant performances in Criminal minds, he has given Hotch hidden depths that I want explored by the writers. The emotions when they come out from HOtch are so perfectly understated.
I did try to watch Dharma and Greg to see more of his talented work, but it really isn't my thing, I usualy watch it with the mute on!
Some of his film work has been different to say the least. I think it's great that he has tried so many different types of roles and that he isn't scared to do something a little different.

I saw him first on Dharma & Greg and now make a rewatch of the whole 5 seasons. He is so much fun at this character and I love watching him as often as I can. He has a great sense of humour that plays out very well in this comedy show.

He's great in Criminal Minds too. This is a very different role and he has to play a much more serious person. But guys, is there any other actor looking that cute in a suit???
Thomas Gibson is a handsome good looking man with great acting abbilities and I hope he will be on TV much longer. So I hope we will get some more great season of Criminal Minds! and please writers, let him smile a bit more often!!!

We love Thomas Gibson. Good actor. He does great work, is always great to watch, never interrupts the role with his own personality or ego. Gibson is also fine-looking dude and for a guy I can say he is someone no guy would mind looking like. So...

We love Thomas Gibson. Good actor. He does great work, is always great to watch, never interrupts the role with his own personality or ego. Gibson is also fine-looking dude and for a guy I can say he is someone no guy would mind looking like. So Gibson is one of TVs finest and he never grandstands. Cool dude.
