COP11 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 OMG PENNY!!! Another T-Bag girl!! I thought I was the only weirdo on here. There was something so sexy about T-Bag. And I will watch anything with Robert. He is still super hot and a great actor. Nobody could have played Theodore Bagwell as good as he did. He made that show fun to watch. I thought Schofield and Burrows were boring. Hot, but boring. And yes I remember him on Red Shoe Diaries as well. I used to watch that every week.And I had heard he was supposed to be on Breakout Kings for 4 episodes but it ended up only being one show. Damnit!! Quote
