Donald Ressler is a veteran field agent who is a stickler for procedure. Ressler's greatest asset is his single-minded, almost obsessive devotion to his work. He spent five years on a FBI task force obsessively pursuing Reddington, which resulted in his fiancee breaking off their engagement. He despises having to work with a criminal like Reddington, but he acknowledges that Reddington does get results. Initially he distrusts Elizabeth Keen and her connection to Reddington, but eventually comes to respect and work well with her. After he was shot by Anslo Garrick, he reignited his relationship with his former fiancée, Audrey Bidwell. Unfortunately she was killed by Mako Tanida, after which Ressler learned she was pregnant with his child. Ressler develops a addiction for pain pills after getting shot and losing his girlfriend and unborn child. When he is in Alaska with Liz on a case, he purposely breaks his thumb to get a new prescription for his pain pills. Ressler is abducted and his pills were taken from him. He starts to go into withdrawal in the woods. Liz finds out about his addiction when she finds Ressler's badge, ID, gun, and his pills. Liz wants to help him fight his addiction and after they have been into a car accident, he is flushes his pills down the drain. Ressler is made the interim head of the Task Force when Red and Liz go on the run and he is in charge of leading the manhunt. Once he caught Liz, Cooper is reinstated and Ressler goes back to working as a field agent and partners up with Samar.

quote of the moment ღ

"A couple hours ago, I had the opportunity to stop Reddington. He was ready to take one life to avenge another, and in the end,
I, uh I was gonna let him do it. I actually wanted him to do it."

Because even though he gets beaten up way too much he is still our hero.
Because he is not such a boy scout anymore.
Because he is very handsome.
Because we would like to get rescued by him.
Because being the boss really suits him.
Because even though he is tough, he is not afraid to show his emotions.
Because he deserves a loving woman by his side.

-- DONALD "BOYSCOUT" RESSLER --

"Funny thing, you know, I used to be a real boy scout. Strictly by the book. Followed all the rules. Then this thing happens. My fiancée, she gets killed, murdered right in front of me.
And the guy who did it, the only way I could get him was to forget all the rules. It was a real crossroads for me. Had to choose which path to take.
The thing is, I think it’s real important for you to know, the path I took, there wasn’t any rules. And the thing I realized was that sometimes that’s okay."

TFTNT Kris. His 5th one already! :yay:

It's awesome, isn't it? :D I'm really happy that we go through the threads so fast!

And to continue the conversation I'll bring over some stuff of the previous thread :)

Quote:

That would be great if that was possible. The writers should attend events like Comic Con next year so somebody can ask them!

I'm all with you... It's at the time that fans are able to ask all of these questions regarding Ressler. :nod: To make some sense of it at least.

Quote:

With this show, who knows? :( I know I sound really pessimistic but lately that's how I feel.

Sarah, I'm really sorry you are feeling that pessimistic lately :hug: But I get it because it's the same for me. It's as if they have let us down :(

Quote:

I don't think NBC is that keen on promoting the show anymore. The ratings dropped sharply in season 2 and now it has stabilized but is still much lower than season 1. Stuff like the comic-con cost the channel money or am I getting this wrong? Someone let me know please. But I'd love to see all the cast and crew together at Comic Con if only to see them laugh and spend time together. We barely see the cast anywhere together anymore. I especially miss the bromance of MB and DK.

I really have no clue if the network has to pay for the cast of the show to be at Comic Con... I always thought they got money for their appearance there like when they attend Cons and stuff... :shrug: I never heard that networks would have to pay for it. But I'm wondering if those spots are limited and if the organizers of SDCC might have a say in who they want and who not :shrug:

I wish we got to see the cast together again and do some promotion. It's so strange that they barely do that anymore.

Found these pics. They are from an older appearance but they are still amazing pictures. :love:

I had no idea!!! It's a wonder he had been able to keep it a secret this long. He really likes to keep his private life private, doesn't he? Very admirable.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FAVORITE GINGER. MAY THIS NEW YEAR BRING YOU ALL THE JOY AND SUCCESS YOU WANT.:D:birthday::party::flowers:

Aww, Sarah, great you found out something new about Diego :D And his birthday for sure is very special... He even confirmed it himself that his birthday is on November 30th :) At least I read it somewhere on Tumblr if I recall it right...

When I searched for all the cast members birthday for the birthday thread I easily found Diego's. I tweeted him happy birthday on the 30th. :D

Did you get an answer? :D

Okay, maybe that story was from some years ago or so? :shrug: About Diego's birthday and his manager tweeting him a happy birthday on the wrong day?

No I didn't Kris. :( Diego isn't that active on Twitter sadly.

Oh man, that's not nice... :( But I get it, we lately don't get answers by anybody at all. That's really sad.

Yeah, I miss him, too! It's way too long since I have seen them the last time. :(

Aww, great colorings for one and the same picture :love:

And look at this stuff:

DK used to more active on twitter right after he got his account. He used to post these silly, funny observations. But now he seems more business orientated - only tweets on thursdays. Maybe he got some of those nasty tweets from some idiotswhich has made him more wary to engage with the fans.:shrug: But he does read his tweets regularly - because he always answers to other actors and people in the biz. I'm sure he appreciated all the good wishes from his fans.

That's one great edit. Thanks for bringing it here Miranda. He looks very young in it. Very young and very hot.

There is but because we don't post in that regularly it's somewhere on page 3 I think. You can easily find it in the board guide. It's topped at the top of the board. :)

Thanks for the fan pics Kris! He looks so good in both of them! I love what he's wearing on the first one! And that story with the second picture! :thud: He is too sweet!
