betsyboo August 13, 2015 Share August 13, 2015 I requested this show to be added to forums if for no other reason to express my love of Robert Knepper and his portrayal of T-bag. I think T-bag (aside from his rapey/murdery qualities) is one of my favorite characters on TV, ever. Yes, he's a sociopath, but he owns it. My gosh was he scary. Clearly my love for T-bag is tied up in how wonderful a job I think RK did, but T-bag was still a pure joy to watch, even when he was killing someone. He was on H50 and it took me at least 5 episodes to get past that he was dressed in a suit and not actively trying to kill someone. 6 Link to comment
betsyboo April 5, 2017 Share April 5, 2017 I'm replying to my own topic - bad form?? Seriously, RK just inhibits the creepy and I believe with my whole heart that if I ran into him on the street he'd kill me. 3 Link to comment

Right there with you! :) I think it's important for me to say that I don't judge fictional characters the same way I judge people in real life. My friends tell me I have a villain fetish :D And in keeping with this, T-Bag is also one of my favourite ever characters. Robert K is just So. Damn. Good. in that role. He manages to make him simultaneously creepy, scary and charming. I'm happy that he's back in the new season. It's a real privilege to watch him doing his thing! It is admittedly unbelievable that someone with his history would ever be released, but I don't really care. I want good things to happen to him even if he doesn't objectively deserve them. 4 Link to comment
janeta April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 (edited) yes. next question? and i've seen some interviews with RK; he seems to just be a totally polite, soft spoken normal guy. (and i don't know why PTV is double posting everything i say....) Edited April 7, 2017 by janeta 1 Link to comment
FnkyChkn34 April 10, 2017 Share April 10, 2017 I've seen Robert Knepper in other shows, and I can't not see T-Bag. He's that good as T-Bag. 3 Link to comment

FnkyChkn34 April 10, 2017 Share April 10, 2017 Nah, that's just a young Theodore Bagwell pulling a scam on someone... ;-) He was on Chicago Fire/Chicago PD as an arsonist... T-Bag. He was on Homeland as a general... T-Bag. Anything recent... T-Bag. 7 Link to comment
mojoween April 10, 2017 Share April 10, 2017 It is absolutely preposterous that his re-sentencing was apparently 7 years but I don't care. I need Robert Knepper on my screen. I used to freak out my friend by crooning "Tweener, I'm coming for you...TWEENER, I'ma coming for you" and she hated it because T-Bag is SO creepy but we loved him. 3 Link to comment

Argenta April 14, 2017 Share April 14, 2017 I hope T-Bag gets a relatively happy ending. I.e., not killed off. 1 Link to comment

The writers quite deliberately avoided killing him at the end of the show's original run because they knew how popular he was with the audience. I wonder if the same still applies...I hope so ? 4 Link to comment

The only other actor who affected me this was Matthew Cowles, who played Billy Clyde Tuggle on All My Children. Damn if I wasn't afraid of him even when I saw him at awards shows with his wife, Christine Baranski, lol! 2 Link to comment
