Hi, I'm Kyle Hobbes....


I'll be playing the completely out of place accented douchebag of the show, who is somehow the romantic interest of the female lead, despite looking like a total tool. Every major network show seems obligated to have one at least as a recurring.

I had actually really hoped his character, well the concept of a merc, would have brought something more.

Here is this guy, a man of many talents and wanted for things you would've only heard on G.I.Joe...and they write him in to the basement.

You can't fake good art any more than you can fake a good meal.

The question is why are these series so obsessed with foreign characters/actors? They are everywhere. It's like, WTF is this Aussie/British whatever guy doing here in NYC and is an infamous American militia leader. I mean whaaat?

I was befuddled by the how they had him living in NY, as well. I can appreciate the "Hiding in plain sight" humor to this, but that kind of writing is better suited for a parody.

I had hope for him as well. He was a gray character, and I'm fine with that. However, towards the end of season 2, the writers seemed to want him to become grayer. Instead, he mostly just got stupider.

Is that why he packed up in the last episode? I was wondering why he snogged Erica and then ran.....

That guy's a hero. He killed a guy just to nail his hot ex-wife :)

Unbelieveable. Hobbes went through some very important character development but it all ended up on the cutting room floor. Madness. Thank god for DVDs.
