He reminds me of Mel Gibson. Even his Americanized accent. the scene where he wants the crazy guy to shoot him is right out of the first Lethal Weapon movie, except no mullet.
shareThat was a great scene and yeah he did play it like a young Mel Gibson in the movie. I thought the episode was quite good.
You nailed it, spike. Not only his Americanized accent, but also his mannerisms bear a subtle but noticable resemblence to actor/director Mel Gibson.
With his modified accent, he could also do well as a narrator.
Dude I came on here just to see if anyone else thought the same thing. In the second episode of 'Life on Mars' he seemed even more like Mel Gibson. Crazy.
Shame, shame. Don't you know ponytails are out this season?
Agree 100%,I noticed that in the first episode and even more so in the second.
shareThank you, thank you! I was lying in bed with my eyes closed and Jason O'Mara's voice reminded me of someone and it was killing me...he reminded me of someone overall. Mel Gibson is it! Thanks, now I can sleep. :)
shareNo, you guys got it all wrong - he reminds me of a young Paul Newman. The eyes, the emotion, the acting...ever watch Cool Hand Luke or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof? Yes, he does resemble Mel Gibson a little and all but it's Paul Newman that he is most like.
shareTOTALLY! I think he looks like a mix between Aidan Quinn and Mel Gibson!!! Two very good looking men!!!
shareNo. Ewww! Not Mel Gibson.
