After I saw him in SotL, I was sold. He's one of the best actors I've ever had the pleasure of watching, and (I hope) it's just a matter of time before he gets much-deserved superstar status!
"Your mother's in here with us, Karras. Would you like to leave a message?"
I greatly admire his work, too, but would wish something different for him. It seems superstars live such difficult lives, full of stress and hype with very little privacy, so I wish for him a wonderful variety of character roles. That would keep his work interesting for both him and us, and would allow him a more normal family life than the superstars have.

Considering his roles since "Monk" ended ("Shutter Island,"Hell on Wheels," "Luck"), I think your wish for Ted is coming true.
I just finished the book "Jimmy" (which is scheduled to be released this year). I'm pretty sure Ted plays the title character's Grandpa. If the movie's anything like the book, I look forward to this character being Ted's most charming and endearing role.
I also read "A Single Shot" (the movie's scheduled to be released in 2013). It's a small part in the book, not much importance to the overall story, but who knows how the role evolves in filming? After all, the Warden as written in the book "Shutter Island" was, basically, a one-liner ...

You've talked me into it - I've just GOT to see "Jimmy." He would be totally awesome in a movie based on a book I read recently, entitled "Our Gal Cal." I can't think of a more perfect actor to play Leonard Rhoads than Ted.
