Wentworth Miller - Nate Kendal Appreciation Thread [Law & Order SVU]: We need Nate too!

**FehrsTabascoGirlie** · 09-24-2009, 01:19 PM

Welcome to the Appreciation Thread for Went's role in Law & Order: SVU!

Wentworth appeared in the season 11 premiere of Law & Order: SVU called "Unstable".

OFFICER NATE KENDALL (GUEST STAR WENTWORTH MILLER) IS CALLED IN TO HELP DETECTIVES OLIVIA BENSON (MARISKA HARGITAY) AND ELLIOT STABLER (CHRIS MELONI) SOLVE A SERIES OF RAPE CASES ALONG WITH EXECUTIVE ADA SONYA PAXTON (GUEST STAR CHRISTINE LAHTI).

Officer Nate Kendall (guest star Wentworth Miller) aids a woman in trouble and becomes roped into solving a rape case. While Detectives Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) believe that Kendall is not right for the case due to his unstable personality, Executive ADA Sonya Paxton (guest star Christine Lahti) joins the team, bringing evidence of a common thread among three other rape cases. With Paxton’s help, the team might expose a serial rapist. Also starring: Richard Belzer (Detective John Munch), Dann Florek (Captain Donald Cragen), Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Tamara Tunie (Dr. Melinda Warner), and B.D. Wong (Dr. George Huang).

Here you can discuss your thoughts on the episode, Wentworth and his character Nate Kendall.

Dude, am I the first to respond?

I got home last night in time to catch it but OMG Wentworth did a great job last night! I loved the part when he said I hate to run total Prison Break moment

I loved it loved it loved it! I think he is getting better by the minute! Loved the character he was playing a kind of good guy that is rough around the edges! yet what was the end about??? I wanted to see more! Maybe he will come back or is that just wishfull thinking! :-)

Finally, I didn't want to post after myself again.

The ending of the episode was unexpected for me and I'm still not sure, if the guy jumped himself or if Nate helped him jump.

I doubt they will make more of that though. At least when it comes to the role of Nate.

They might show more of the story of the guy wrongly convicted, since I can imagine that that's hard for Elliot.

To be completely honest, I wasn't so sure about him on the show, since I found the clips we saw of the episode before so weird. But the episode turned out to be really good, which I'm very happy about.

As for the character I immediately had to think of a quote from G.I. Joe:
"He had so many issues. Even his issues had issues."

I totally had to laugh about the "I hate to run" part. That line I believed without a doubt for both Nate and Wentworth.

I actually had to laugh a few times. He wasn't very popular with the others it seemed and there was at least one puppy dog face from his side.

Aww that sounds like it was good

I'm glad

I hope I can watch it tonight

WM was great in the episode.

He played the part of the haunted cop so well and the bit about his daughter

**FehrsTabascoGirlie** · 09-27-2009, 07:02 AM

I was already wondering in the previews, why he's like that. The daughter gave a good explanation for that. No wonder he's so hard on druggies.

Michi Were you able to watch it yet?

Jamie Choate · 09-27-2009, 10:17 AM

I thought he did a fantastic job with this role. I even caught the repeat last night.

As others have said I loved the, "I hate to run" line.

**FehrsTabascoGirlie** · 09-27-2009, 11:38 AM

I loved the half-smirk he wore while saying that.

I'm sure the writers did that only for him

**FehrsTabascoGirlie** · 09-28-2009, 02:31 AM

You mean kinda like an insider joke? I haven't even thought of that.

Or they figured you saw him running in PB enough.

**FehrsTabascoGirlie** · 09-30-2009, 03:43 AM

Somehow I'm totally getting ignored when it comes to "Last Post" in this thread.

ETA: Finally.

J DEE · 09-30-2009, 04:48 AM

Oh no we did'nt mean to ignore you :-( !
Think you are right! He ran so much in Prison Break he is all buffed out and can't run anymore LOL!

**FehrsTabascoGirlie** · 10-01-2009, 01:42 AM

I didn't mean you guys, thanks though.

ignored me, since they showed in the overview for the Wentworth board for this thread that Michi did the last post a few days ago, but my newer one didn't seem to have registered with them.

I'm sure that that line was an insider joke.

Made me laugh, that's for sure.

So what was your guys favorite Nate scene?

J DEE · 10-01-2009, 03:00 AM

SORRY! Got the wrong end of the stick silly me:-)!

My fav scene was the very first one when he had the gun in that guy's mouth. Not very nice i know but i liked it cause it was so different from Michael Scofield. Even though i loved Mihael Scofield it was nice to see him play a completely different character.
