B-A Note: Oh, how I would love to get a look at this!
The Good Wife has a myriad of great judges that are hilarious or infuriating or both, but my absolute favorite is Judge Charles Abernathy. Played by Denis O’Hare, Abernathy is the epitome of the good-nature liberal, constantly compromising and undermining his own personal liberal views for the sake of fairness. His overt liberalism makes for hilarious TV, and his moments of soft-spoken sarcasm are some of my favorite moments during trials.
And bonus: he knows how to handle lawyers in his office :) “Take a deep breath and no leaning forward”.
Personally, I hope that one day Denis O’Hare will reveal some of the backstory for Judge Abernathy, because he makes up one for every character he plays, and I’d really love to know this one.

You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn’t black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing.
You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing.
I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I’m trying to do the right thing, and that’s where I’m going with this.
Let the music roll with the thunder, and all that…

Interviewer: And why did you want to be the Doctor?
Christopher Eccleston: Because Russel T. Davies wrote it and because it was an audience in an area of television I hadn’t worked in. I’ve not had the privilege to act for children, really. And because I’m constantly told I’m not funny and I’m not charming, and they were some of the demands in the role, so I wanted to…I felt it was a big gamble. There’s two reasons to do it, Russel T. Davies and the gamble. And I like a gamble. I think it’s important as an actor, in any sphere of life, to do the things that frighten you most.

HBO, I love you for making true!fairies true, meaning: manipulative, using humans and hybrid-humans for their own purposes, feeding them addictive fruits, and messing up their time-perception. AND glamours-covered fairies! Watch and see the true look of this place and the wingy friendly godmothers :)

Mr. O’Hare’s most famous scene in “True Blood” comes while the vampires are pushing for an equal-rights amendment. His character bursts into a television studio, rips out the spine of the newscaster and delivers an enraged monologue, saying that vampires do not seek equal rights with humans because they are not their equals — they are their betters. “We will eat you, and then we will eat your children,” he says. Then with an unctuous smile: “And now for the weather. Tiffany?”
Mr. O’Hare had previously said that he used his rage over politics regarding gay marriage to fuel that scene. But it was also, he said now, “broader than that.”
“I somewhat resist the whole gay rights-vampire rights metaphor because it is fraught with problems,” he said. “I don’t want to be seen as a gay man as a blood-sucking killer. I don’t think it is the way to win hearts and minds.”
“The point for me was, it was a way for me to understand Russell’s rage,” he added. “I have had this argument for years that as a gay person no one gives me my rights. They are mine. I don’t need to have them conferred on me. I don’t need anyone’s approval. You do need to get out of my way.”New York Times, November 10, 2010
