Bones entered its tenth season on FOX. Actor T.J. Thyne plays the character of Jack Hodgins on the series, the brilliant squint who is a forensic entomologist (and a lot more) and a conspiracy theorist married to Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin). They had a son, Michael Vincent, who is now a toddler. Thyne recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview about his role.
Thyne has more in common with his character now than he did when he started working on the series. "In the beginning, Jack Hodgins and I were a lot more different. He had major anger management issues, didn't like authority, and had a big chip on his shoulder.
“As the seasons have progressed, so has Jack. Once he started dating Angela, and then married her, once Jack came to terms with Zack being gone, and once the Grave Digger was finally dead and out of his life, he mellowed out. He became a father. Now he's full of zest & spunk.
“But let me tell you the difference: Jack loves bugs and slime and reptiles, etc. I don't, at all (laughs). And Hodgins is a deep conspiracy theorist, which I'm not in real life. That part is really fun to play since it's so different for me. The spiders, he can keep!"
