His role as Saul Berensen on Homeland since 2011i is outstanding ! 3 Emmys for supporting actor on homeland !

jls2971

I've never watched Homeland but I have heard Mandy is great on it. And I know he's been nominated and won some awards for it. So good for him. I do find it strange that he bashed Criminal Minds but is fine on Homeland, but it is what it is.

Logan

Few years ago he said he was in a bad way mentally, while doing CM … Some of the Homeland stories are very violent and make any CM Stiry tame

jls2971

Yeah, I remember reading that interview I believe where he talked about being in a bad place mentally. Actually, I think there was a video of it on YouTube. I do remember reading something too where he explained being in a bad place and I thought the interview was good. I think he did say he behaved terribly then, so at least he admits the way he went about it was wrong.

I read about this a while ago

Mandy was at the Emmy's last night

Logan

He was nomniated for best supporting actor on Homeland

jls2971

He's been nominated a few times. I think he's also been nominated for a Golden Globe for the show

Logan

ION TV is running season 1 … ep 5 Gideon is dealing with a kidnapper of a politicians daughter … the one where the kidnapper wants to talk to the other daughter , Jason keeps hanging up .

jls2971

Oh my gosh, that's right, he did keep hanging up! That was kind of funny. I thought that was a good episode.

I liked when the unsub was profiling the team and all their reactions were pretty good/accurate.

Logan

Sesson 1 was his stongest since it was new he was in the lead role .
He had gone onto be in many Broadway plays over the years , as well as his lead male role on Homeland . Yes Claire daines is star of the show , but Saul goodmen is such a huge part of that series ..

As we have posted in the past Homeland violence ,since it is Showtime , is far more horrific and crossing so many bounderies ,makes CM seem like a PG show.

He Mandy had in the past after he was gone from CM said some not so nice things aboiut the theme

jls2971

Yeah, I think many people felt his comments about CM were weird since he's on Homeland. But after making those comments, he has said he behaved terribly in the past. Maybe he was able to get used to that kind of genre and is in a better place mentally with Homeland?

Ha, it was funny though because during season 9 I believe Joe and Jeanne roasted Mandy. Joe said something like "He should have read the script more carefully"
