When Bones costar Eric Milligan first met TJ Thyne, he said, “You’re that guy… the guy who’s been in everything. There are a few people who’ve been in everything and you’re one of those guys.” *
Here are a few of the eclectic characters TJ has portrayed:
For years, TJ resisted auditioning for “series regular” roles out of a desire to play as wide a variety of characters as possible, but in 2005, he found the part that made him want to take that risk: Dr. Jack Hodgins, the bugs-n-slime scientist from the FOX hit television show Bones.
Portraying Hodgins as a little bit conspiracy theorist and a whole lot romantic, TJ’s enthusiastic approach to the character helps to break the sidekick stereotype of the socially inept lab geek, even managing — as PopGurls.com stated in a 2006 interview — to make “science a little bit sexy.”
No matter what the role, TJ is dedicated to uncovering the intricacies of the characters he plays, often having to tape or rubberband his scripts together because they’re so well worn from reading and analyzing. Whether for stage or screen, the medium doesn’t matter: “Acting is acting, is acting, is acting,” he says. It’s an opportunity for him to be a storyteller.
