I’m soooo happy hawthorne is coming back for a 3rd season. i was getting worried. yay hawthorne!
Marc Anthony is an underrated actor, he really is. I look forward to this.
Jeremy — I agree that Marc Anthony’s acting is underrated. My theory is because so much is based on ‘appearances’. Marc doesn’t fit the typical leading-man mold. But his PRESENCE on-screen in undeniable. I can’t wait to see Marc and Jada in more scenes together!
W H E N ?????????????????????????????????
Marc had great on-screen chemistry with Jada and he was a great addition to the cast. I can wait for it to return this summer!
Don’t exactly know how this will turn out… But very interested, and will definitely be tuning in come June.
His acting is awful YOU CANT EVEN HEAR HIM he has a mush mouth and needs diction classes- he got the gig because no one else would bother with that BORING badly written show
i hear they fired all the writers … hum
HE WAS SELECTED FROM HUNDREDS OF OTHER ACTORS TO STAR OPPOSITE OSCAR AWARD WINNER DENZEL WASHINGTON IN MAN ON FIRE.
He looks like a skeleton – he needs to gain weight and hire an acting coach
what does he weigh? 140 pounds? YIKES he is too petite
Look forward to season 3 of Hawthorne! Marc Anthony is a great singer and his acting ability is just as strong. He is totally believable in every role he portrays. I knew he would be back!
Just watch season 3 premiere and i love it
Loving the chemistry of Nick (Marc Anthony) with Christina (Jada P.Smith). I also like how laid back he is as the detective. The ring scene was subtle can’t wait to see what happens. I hope they keep him on crime DNA cases.
I can take the skinny little dude on the show, but I hate his interference with Christina and Tom. Get out of the way Nick…find someone your own size! I have loved this show from the get go and I hate when producers and writers pull these kinds of tricks. Give Nick diffrent direction or send him home to JLO.
I would love for the networks to do whats best for the fans. I would love to see Dr. Burke transfer from Greys to Hawthorne as Christina’s Ex! Greys hasn’t been the same without him. He is an incredibly yummy actor!! His culture with a street attitude.He dominates the screen.Hawthorne is getting better and better. The real movie actors makes it hard not to watch. Tom has to kiss, hugs, flirt with christina all the time for it to be believeable. They have to have at least two bedroom scenes a show in the nude. There love has to be the center of the show. Thats why Marc anthony stole her. Tom and Christina have to have a on fire, passionate all the time love in front of the camera for us to be fo fight for their relationship. I. Washington our fallen heartthrob you are irreplaceable. I am a nurse. He is my ideal Doctor.
