"Minds!: Patinkin returns for one scene only - with only him in it!

big deal..he's nowhere as good an actor as he thinks he is. these people who
think they are demigods just because they're actors really annoy me...they're
just people in the right place, at the right time with the right
appeal..nothing more. it's when they start believing in their own publicity
that they lose the plot (think david caruso).

at this point, any series that hires him needs to have a couple of escape plans
ready to go because he's done this with every series he's ever done, the only
exception being the great "dead like me" (and if that series would have gotten
another year, he'd have probably jumped ship around episode 5 or so). this
isn't some kind of shock, it's a pattern of behavior. get used to it - it won't
be the last time it becomes an issue for some series out there.
