A new discovery for me hide show
When I heard about Private Practice I thought it would be like an appendix of Greys Anatomy, and watched it with hesitation because I really liked the Addison character, and I have always liked Tim Daly�s work since the time he was on Wings (Remember the Nantucket pilots?)
Well, it turned out that I discovered Paul Adelstein and really felt in love with his character and his trying to cope with all the problems he has gotten into because of his addiction to sex, and his growing interest in Violet... who does not seem to notice that he is head over heels for her. I live in South America and here we do not get the episodes in a regular way, but I hope to see them all eventually. Thanks for the great performance and you have a follower down here in this part of the world...
Paul Adelstein as Paul Kellerman in Prison Break was the best. He had my attention ever time he was on the screen. hide show
Paul did such a great job in Prison Break. I hate that he isn't in the show anymore. I wish they could have kept him for a few more seasons. The show is still good but I think it would be better with him. He was my favorite bad guy. He was in the best two seasons. I haven't seen him in anything else. I know he's in Private Practice but I'm not into the hospital scene. Too many hospital shows out there. Maybe he'll become part of a more original show like Prison Break someday. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a season of 24. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Paul Adelstein is bringin' the hotness, the intensity and complexity that makes a good character/villain. hide show
Paul Adelstein is bringin' the hotness, the intensity and complexity that makes a good character/villain. He is the best actor in prison break for me. At first, i hated him then i started to love his character more than anyone else. he is doing a great job too in private practice. i hope to see more kellerman in season 3. he has a good voice too check out his CD doris. Very nice music which is worth listening to again and again. It's mournful and simple but also laid-back and quite touching. Plus Paul has pretty sexy voice. It's got a bluesy quality that kind of penetrates right into your soul.
Paul will have a great career. hide show
Paul Adelstein I think he played the Paul Kellerman role so well. He knew how to portray and I loved the character of Kellerman. Now he had worked for the government, and he was believed he was working for them for the greater good but it turned out he was working for a nothing, he did some pretty bad things, but he made up for them by helping a crucial storyline in Prison Break and eventually ended up helping Lincoln Burrows be set free. I give Adelstein a 10 out of 10 because he played his part so well in Prison Break.
Absolutely fabulous actor! hide show
