Just when we thought Australian Simon Baker ("The Guardian") had gone home, he shows up on CBS’ series, “Smith.” The John Wells-produced drama stars Ray Liotta as a loving family man who plots high-stakes robberies in his spare time. Baker plays his nefarious cohort who is in charge of fire power. The Aussie has been in the U.S. ever since he tried out for the Guy Pearce role in “L.A. Confidential.” (He didn’t get that part, but copped another.) After completing three years on “The Guardian,” he’s more TV savvy.
“I’ve always thought pilots are kind of interesting because they’re almost like infomercials for a television series,” says Baker.
“And what John (Wells) did unashamedly with this was just threw these characters out there. And they’re all very unique and different, and they do their own thing. And you do sort of go, `Well, what’s going on there?’ And that’s the idea of serialized television, in a sense. It’s like you’re either interested in finding out or not. In this case, I was interested enough in finding out, so I wanted to sign on.”
