So I was looking at Alex O'Loughlin's IMDB profile, as you do, because Steve McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0, etc. Anyway, I had one of those amazing OH SHIT NO WAY HE WAS THAT AWESOME GUEST ACTOR moments (uh...I don't know if normal people have those, but I do).
See, do you guys remember Vincent, the serial killer in that utterly heartbreaking Criminal Minds ep "The Big Wheel" -- the OCD guy with the Buddy Holly glasses and the videotaping thing who made that odd clicking noise, with the little blind kid and the Ferris wheel scene at the end? I have always loved that character; it's one of those braintwisting CM episodes where you somehow wind up having enormous amounts of sympathy for that poor serial killer and cry at their death scene and all that. He was just so sad and likeable -- which I know doesn't change the fact that he was a serial killer, but the end of that episode always makes me cry.
ANYWAY, THAT WAS ALEX O'LOUGHLIN.
...I know, right? Go ahead, be amazed. I'll wait. :D
In all seriousness, though, my respect for him as an actor just went up about tenfold. Well played, sir.
