WET PAINT: Exclusive: TJ Thyne Is Single and Ready to Mingle!

What does Bones star TJ Thyne do when he’s not working? From the sound of it, that never happens! But TJ — who plays “Bugs and Slime” specialist Dr. Jack Hodgins on the hit Fox series when he’s not making short films of his own — still found some time to tell us about the future of the show, his perfect woman, and the complete contents of Hodgins’s iPod in this exclusive Wetpaint email interview...
... WP: Will we ever learn more about Hodgins's past and where his money comes from?
TJ: "Oh man, I hope so! I've been wanting to see this for six seasons now! I'd LOVE to learn all about what happened to Jack's parents, how they died, how he was left zillions of dollars, and just a taste of what he does with all that money. I like that he has all that cash and doesn't abuse it. The not-so-secret-anymore-secret-billionaire-dozens-of-times-over is oh-so-fun to play. But where's the Wayne Mansion and hidden lair of toys and cars and things! [Series creator] Hart [Hanson] has told me on several occasions that we will never see Jack's mansion he grew up in — and currently still lives in with Angela [Michaela Conlin] — because it's WAY too large and WAY too expensive for us to ever show. Which actually is a lot of fun, forcing the audience to have to imagine how grand it really is, so everyone has their own vision of what that looks like. Remember Zack's [Eric Millegan] simple description when Angela first confronts Zack about Jack's money? Angela: Aren't you his roommate? Zack: Roommate? I live above the garage across the pond and the tennis courts from the main house. Booth: How many cars does he have in that garage? Zack: Including the antique ones?
In a recent episode, Angela was dreaming about having a home that was... more quaint and average so their kid could have a "real" life, not one that would make the cast of Silver Spoons blush. So Jack bought her the house she wanted. I think we will see that home more in seasons to come. (Oooh, I like saying "Seasons to come!" Let's make that happen for sure! Heehee.) As for the tale of Jack's history, I'll keep crossing my fingers we get to see it. Oh, and here's hoping it’s really dark, dramatic, scary, and sad all rolled in to one!..."
Bones airs on Thursday at 9/8C on FOX
