The jury’s out on whether or not he’s king of the lab, but there’s no doubt about it – T.J. Thyne is the king of our hearts. Emily and Carla sit down (or should we say, snuggle up) with T.J. Thyne, their friend and Bones co-star who played the secretly rich bug and slime expert slash conspiracy theorist, Jack Hodgins, on all 12 seasons of the show. T.J. talks about how he got cast on Bones, his favorite memories from set, and his on-screen chemistry with Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro). Plus, T.J. tells the story of how he and Emily got in trouble while shooting the pilot episode of Bones.
Welcome back to the Jeffersonian! We’ll be recapping each episode of Bones in order, so please join us today for a behind-the-scenes trip back to 2005 and the pilot of Bones. In this episode, Emily spills all the details of the Bones audition process and reveals how she landed the role of Dr. Temperance Brennan. Carla takes us on a highlight reel of the pilot’s sexiest moments (from Angela’s boobs to Brennan’s boobs and everything in between). And Emily shares the secret to her on-screen chemistry with David Boreanaz (Seeley Booth), which is palpable even from the very first episode of the show (we all saw that scene at the gun range).
