Lie to Me: In Character with Tim Roth

Learning from this show is almost like reading someone's mind. Body language is so amazing when it is talk to you in this fashion.

Lie to me is exactly the kind of show you'd like to watch. The cast is great, especially Tim Roth with his unusual and perfect acting in portraying Dr Lightman, and Kelli Williams who fits greatly in the role of Dr Foster. The concept of the show is great, and presenting the science of deception and the studies of Dr Paul Ekman were pretty much well done. I read Dr Ekman books but I can't deny that the show was a practical application of my readings. I'm also a fan of Tim Roth and choosing him for this role was absolutely perfect. Throughout the 3 seasons, his character developed a lot and I'm pretty sure he worked hard to make the Lightman character even more attractive.

Just a point. Tim Roth is saying "OI" not "Hey" when you watch in closed captions. He is clearly English after all. Let me know. Cheers! The show is great! Character development is great! and the episodic progress has been easy to follow. I have been aware of Roth for years and typically find it difficult to accept an actor into roles I am not accustomed to seeing them in. Much more so if it seems as though the actor has stepped into completely new territory. Mr. Roth is wonderfully English and has always come across as such on the screen. This is a mature role for Mr. Roth and much like his countryman Daniel Craig ushers in a new acceptance when the brash young mate becomes mature man

The show is still great when I come back to it. Tim Roth became a favorite of mine after this show. Great stuff over and over again.
