Anyone else surprised to see him in the Agent Carter mini-series ?


Good for him, as participating in a Marvel Cinematic Universe property seems to do wonders for most actors' careers (if they weren't doing well already). I hadn't looked at the cast list before viewing last night's first two episodes--just knew that Atwell and Cooper were reprising their roles.

I'm fairly surprised, and didn't expect it either. Good luck to him...

...BTW, I'm STILL pissed that OTH is unavailable on bluray. The quality of the DVDs are as good as excremented toilet paper.

It's on Netflix- all 9 seasons. Lol! I went back and watched them all in order- every episode. Just finished up 3 weeks ago.

Yes. I was very surprised. It was good to see him back on TV. Hope to see more of him on the show.

Not really because he was in a no-budget web show free at crackle.com....

Stupid people do exist and they mainly live on the imdb boards!

I was surprised. But glad for him. When we used to watch the early seasons of Gilmore Girls, my mum and I always liked him. He was our favourite of Rory's boyfriends and almost paramours. Didn't see much of him afterwards. I recognised him in Freaky Friday a few years later, and would hear the girls at school gushing over him in One Tree Hill, though I never got into that show.

So it's nice to see him finally get to take on more grown up roles, instead of always playing a high school or college kid. And as you've said, being associated with MCU, in most cases, seems to work out pretty well in terms of advancing an actor's prospects.

Plus, Murray is one of the few young, contemporary American actors who can actually pull off a period drama character. He wears the 1940s style really well and convincingly slips into the mannerisms and lingo of a man of the 1940s. I'm just lamenting the lack of Jack Thompson in season 2 so far, especially when he's entangled in the more interesting intrigue.

What happened to his right hand???
Its all bandaged up.
I thought it was part of the costume, but he had it for several episodes. I think he broke his hand or something.

The in-show explanation could be...remember when Dottie Underwood flipped the interrogation room table onto him in the first or second episode ? When he got cocky while grilling her ? She may have injured Thompson's hand then.
