Did he lose a ton of weight?


My god he was skin and bones in Texas Rising!

Yeah he lost a lot to get into character! He only ate a can of tuna a day to make her character Deaf more believable since he was dying of tuberculosis

Yeesh! Well props to the dedication but I hope he's packed on some pounds since.

reply

Yeah he has put a little bit back on he's still quite skinny though

I suspected he lost weight for Texas Rising. He was also Joe DiMaggio in a Marilyn Monroe bio, so the skinny look worked. But now, he hasn't regained it and he looks ill.

Hr doesn't have to get beefy - just a little more than skin and bones would be nice. He's got a lot of acting talent. I'm glad he's getting a lot of roles.

He lost 40 lbs for Texas Rising!

That's a lot of dedication, I agree. But I hope he's healthy.

I'm late in replying here, but I just saw a photo of him on The Walking Dead's site, and I also just started watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix from season 1 on. I thought it was him, but yeah, what a difference. I only saw a head shot, but his face looks so smaller. I mean, I think he looks really good, just such a difference from Grey's Anatomy days.

Just watched him on Colbert (DVR) and he looks rail thin. Especially in his wrists. It was like puppet hands coming out of his sleeves. If he's going to play any more tough characters again he better wear bulky clothes and have them mainly shoot his face because he's lost any sense of an intimidating presence.
