Simon Baker, more than "The Mentalist"
For the past four seasons, Simon Baker has played the charming but troubled Patrick Jane on CBS's "The Mentalist." But the Australian actor tells correspondent Rita Braver he is nothing like his on-screen persona.

He was extremely good in that role, I watched it over and over again. The whole story was very original. Now you can see others using the idea in other movies, but it doesn't work well, because of it was S. Baker personality and his talent, what made it so special. I hope he is going to be in good health for long long time and plays a lot, but I am certain no more Mentalist, it was so uniqe, like no one can play Lucifer the same way as Tom Ellis does. Without him, the whole film series would be a big nothing.
He’s one of the few actors I think it’s extremely handsome! And he has a sweet personality so that’s just more to the pot. I’m watching the Mentalist again right now and i think he’s highly underrated and needs to be in more movies.:)
Simon Baker is a true thespian who has honed his craft as an actor. He is a true leading man ! And FYI Simon is known for being a genuinely nice guy to all the grips, craft provider, makeup, lighting, wardrobe and even the cleaning staff treating everyone with dignity and respect which should be a given but the truth is Simon is a diamond in a rhinestone world!
When he smiles...my goodness.
He mesmerized me in The Mentalist! My all-time favorite show! That says alot since I am 67 years old!

There are many good actors in the business. But in my 80 years, I have never seen an actor actually become the character as he did as Patrick Jane. The Mentalist is the best series that was ever on television, bar none.
how can such a talented actor wasn't recognized ...it's crazy..he is way too good..
One of my absolute favourite actors. I first encountered him in The Guardian. He was excellent in Margin Call but The Mentalist is where I became hooked. One of the handful of series that is worth watching and re watching. The ending to it was too good; overall from start to finish an excellent package. They don't make shows like them anymore.

He has such a raw edge to him, shown here when he talks about his bad family environment. It brings so much to his role as Patrick Jane.
He smiles like a real sunshine
He is addictive 😄 I binge watched the series... I'm glad it has a happy ending 😁. Super acting by all .... they felt like family 😍
I so agree with you!! The more you find out about him the cooler he is. Such a great husband/father. He's also a good director/photographer and humanitarian. I would love to have just one conversation with him!
He's so different from the rest of Hollywood and their corrupted ways. -3 I love Simon Baker!

For me it's quite the opposite actually, I personally find him better looking within years...

I cannot get enough is this man!!! He is the best ever!! He’s sooo adorable !!! I rewatch the entire seasons over and over ! That smile .mmmm
Love him as an actor and now after this interview, he seems like a good human being!
This man is beyond any person I have ever seen or known. He is a great human being and extremely humble. And talent! Oh my God! I didn't know a person could be so talented. I think he uses his inner self and personality when playing The Mentalist.
HE REALLY HAS SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!! Charming also and excellent actor :He delited me on any episode
I'm so glad that out of all the actors I could have fallen in love with, that I fell for Simon Baker. He's got great values and morals and I know what that's like to not see eye to eye with a parent. He's an amazing person. The world needs more people like Simon Baker :') I love you, Simon!
I love Simon Baker. He is such a adoreable and sweet soul ❤

His smile is soo beautiful
A man of substance and character. Wish you continued success. You’re a pleasure to watch
I’ve fallen in love with this man..such a great actor!!!!
I want a man like him, whose first preference is family.. I love his personality ❤️
Great actor and with feet on the ground i see, first thing is the family. Respect.
Simon Baker really has his head on straight. A happy, strong, healthy family is the most important. I have never had that. It would be worth it to me to give up everything I have, to have that family. When you have a loving, strong, happy, family, you have everything.
What incredible chemistry between Simon and Robin. His smile and her eyes.....
I dint know anything abt this actor.. After mentalist i adore him. His captivating smile.. how he cries.. How he kills red john... he is so patrick jane. Cant imagine him in any other role.
He is such a cute man. I lovee him. Not romanticly, but he seems so sweet and his acting work is great!
He totally made that character, I can't imagine any one else playing the role
He's the Australian version of Keanu Reeves 😌❤
He's such a good guy. Love him loads!
I LOVE THIS MAN
I love Jane!
So down to earth :) love him xx
I love this guy so much. The Guardian fascinated me, even though it was basically a soap. I couldnt take my eyes off it. I guess I have a lot invested in the idea that he is a really good and principled man.
he is sucha cutie. been binge watching the mentalist with mom this quarantine season. haha. psych is still my number one ultimate but i enjoy Jane too. he is so addictive!!! I'm glad he enjoys us Americans haha :)
Favourite actor by far ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why the Guardian didn't make it bigger - I LOVE IT! Simon Baker is one of my top favorite actors!
Yes, he's gorgeous, sexy, let's not forget talented. That's a rare combination in Hollywood. This is one of my favorite interviews with him although I don't like where Braver took it in the end. I, for one, thought The Guardian was a great show, it lasted 3 seasons. Simon is not afraid to be vulnerable and honest, he's got a great spirit!
I just LOVE Simon Baker! What a man!
Would love for the Mentalist to refresh and start a new series.

Well done for just brushing over his best ever role as Jeff in Smith with Ray Liotta. That brilliantly written, directed, acted and filmed show got cut after only 7 episodes - because it depicted so-called ‘bad guys’ being smart and winning. And we all know that the purpose of every crime movie and cop show on the Tell Lie Vision is to train the masses to respect law enforcers, never ask for a lawyer, and confess to ‘heroes’ in blue. Patrick Jane was indeed a very interesting character, but Jeff was far more believable. Both are very different from the shy Australian playing them, but his depiction of a feckless surfer with an impulsive and occasionally violent nature as Jeff in Smith is right up there with the best work done by McQueen and Pacino. Thank you for sharing this. It’s odd that despite being a huge admirer of Simon Baker for years, I’ve only just found it.
His eyes too smile..
I love Simon baker. He's so funny and charming. He's so sweet to his wife & kids, it's just adorable to watch. -3 - Brit

He did a Jhonny Cash impression in his first episode of season one and he nailed it such a brilliant actor.
