Watched the first episode of Californication.
Thought I’d share a brief character moment. In the very beginning, we meet Hank and see him driving into a fantastically ornate church. He’s scruffy looking, smoking and yeah, okay, it’s Duchovny, so he’s pretty damned hot.
As he walks into the church, he puts his cigarette out in the holy water.
Short. Sweet. Yeah, I know not sweet in action… but sweet as far as characterization. That one small move told us a lot about this character.
So what did it say?
And can you come up with other short and sweets?
