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 Liz Keen and her connection to Reddington, but eventually comes to respect and work well with her.

.....

I also prepared a profile on you.
Uptight. Fueled by an inner rage.
Capable of the occasional moment of tenderness.
which likely brings on the desire to stay up all night watching Asian porn.

"How many people do you think are alive today that wouldn't be
if it wasn't for the work we do. Fifty? A hunderd? How many Liz?
How many families haven't buried a mother, a father, brother, sister, childeren..
No. It’s never gonna be right. See, the only question is the body count.
So, you go ahead, you nail yourself to a cross. And while you’re up there feeling
sanctified, you consider how many people are gonna die
and the rest of those animals on Reddington’s list are still out there feeding cause this task force gets shut down.
Don't ask me to feel your pain Liz. I got more than enough of my own."
Episode 2x13

Because he is willing to risk his life for others.
Because he is brave and takes risks.
Because he values his job and makes it his priority to do good at 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.

So I thought I'd put in a promo picture of his and some kind of 'title'

I guess that's the least he deserves. Since I'm really bad with arts, there is nothing more I could have done. I'm sorry...

And now I would love to know why we would call him the Boyscout and which episode/scene the quote if from?

Tftnt!

Tftnt Kris

The title and pic look great

A bunch of us referred to him as the boyscout ( sorry I can't remember who's idea it was) because in the first season he was always so by the book and followed regulations to a T. Ever since his fiancé died he has started to not be such a by the book kind of guy, but you can tell it's a struggle for him and his boyscout side shows up.

TFTNT Kris!

I like that pic you used in the OP.

And ditto on what Amy said about Donald being called "The Boyscout."

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. The guy I 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. Like when some greasy Russian starts murdering my friends!

Aww, pretty cool that quote! And now that you bring it over I recall it

So yes, now I know what you are coming from with that nickname

And you're welcome for the thread.

Wow, how could we have missed that?

And he looks good

Thanks so much for bringing it over here.

Do you guys think that Ressler has his addiction under control now? Do you think he's able to get out of it on his own?

I hope he does although I'm disappointed on how it was handled if all he did was to flush it down in the sink in the end. No ramifications at all?

Took a creeper pic of @DKlattenhoff because he looked too busy to ask for a selfie. @NBCBlacklist #noshame #johnjay

Where do you find all these pics, Lindsay

But yes, on Twitter, I know. I just would have to search for tweets about him. Pretty cool! Do you think they are shooting?

And I somehow think he isn't over his drug problem... I'd find it really sad out of the same reasons you do. It would be a pity and kind of unbelievable for me.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-12-2014, 12:07 AM

It's not like I don't want that SL dead but I would have preferred them introducing that SL and then seeing how it affects Donald that it changes him (for the better).

Diego with Dianne Wiest from S1.

Lauren Helen Graham · 12-12-2014, 08:31 AM

Me, too! It's somehow not believable if somebody was hooked almost a year on pain meds and is able to stop out of the blue without any help

I don't think we have seen the last of it.

Wouldn't it be amazing to get such a pic with him one day?

Sorry, a girl can dream, right? So pretty cool there are that many BTS pictures of them.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-13-2014, 12:12 AM

Diego also doesn't tweet that much unless he's live tweeting when there's a new ep on. And since they're still shooting for the latter half of S2, I do hope we get to see some BTS already. The cast will be off on vaca soon...

***One Thing Remains*** · 12-13-2014, 10:53 PM

Love all the Diego pics

I agree Lindsay. If there's no additional fallout from the druggie storyline it will be so disappointing and a waste of the sl
