Honestly, I bet I could tell in a few seconds if Aldis was playing Jake or if he was playing Alec. He's goooood.

I remember seeing Aldis in a few other shows and all I could think of was then was "Jake! Jake!" and seethe with burning hatred. But that was closer to the first time I saw him kill Sam, and it was more my problem than his, of course. It took about one full episode of Leverage for me to make the mental switch over to Hardison, and I absolutely love him as Hardison.

Because books.
I never hated Jake. They gave just enough of his backstory for me to understand how far out of his depth he was, how scared by Azazel's threats to his family, and how desperate he was to survive.
I mean, he didn't know Sam from Adam. I liked that he wasn't a random, conveniently mustache-twirling demon, but a character.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I always felt really sorry for Jake. I wanted him rescued, because Stan held his family hostage to get him to turn. He didn't want to. He'd have died himself, but he couldn't let his family suffer. I have no beef with Jake.
Voodoo, on the other hand. Him I still resent.
Did we know that Aldis was in Fear Itself on Buffy?
Alec's pretty much in a class by himself, though, a more fully-realized character that we know more about and feel more connected to than the walk-ons, no matter how well they were played.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, he might not like Plants vs. Zombies, but I'm going to amuse myself thinking of Dean playing this.
IO9 said that the clip Jared uploaded yesterday was from filming tonight's episode. In which case, I can prepare to bust a gut just thinking about it in its absence.

Nope, I was irrational, and blamed Jake. Along with the YED, of course.

Beverly, I'm drawing a blank. Who's Voodoo?

Ray "Voodoo" Tatum, the ringer Buddy brought onto the Dillon Panthers team because he was such a good player--but he wasn't a team player. He was in it for the college package he could get out of it. Friday Night Lights. Sorry, crossing the streams.
So Voodoo, Not A Nice Guy. Aldis? Pretty great actor.

That explains it. I never watched FNL.

Played straight, that scene was still of the awesome cuteness!

They're definitely not letting the alcohol issues go.
