In my mind the FOX television show “Bones” has let Ryan O’Neal do the best job of acting in his career. I saw him in _Barry Lyndon_, and _Paper Moon_ and really, this is far better - personal opinion of course.

Don’t think of this as a failed thread. Instead think of it as one which caused Kathy Reichs to say, “Yeah, Ryan!”
