The Only Bones Episode Written By Sweets Actor John Francis Daley

From 2007 to 2014 and through 138 episodes, writer, director, producer and actor John Francis Daley played Dr. Lance Sweets on “Bones”, Hart Hanson’s beloved procedural series on forensic anthropologists resolving cold cases. Did you know, however, that Daley also wrote one of these episodes?

The episode of season 6 “The Truth in the myth” – which was written by Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, directed by Chad Lowe, and was released in 2011 – focuses on a case involving a man who worked as “mythbuster” named Lee Coleman (Leigh McCloskey) who believed, died in a sort of incident with the mythical chupacabra. (There is also Kerfuffle on one of Lee’s rivals, a guy named Terry Bamis played by RF Daley, who is crazy as hers own The mythbusting show was canceled.) After the “Bones” Bonely Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and his team continue to investigate, they find all kinds of different animals of animals on the corpse, including bite marks, reptile scales and mammal hair, although the pragmatic bones remain convinced that everything that is Hoax.

Bones is, as usual, right. The strange noise of the video that was taken during the last moments of Lee does not prove to be the groan of a kind of creature, but the buzzing of a mountain bike – and it turns out that a coordinator in a neighboring lodge named Melissa (Laura Eichhorn) led one and had drawn Lee by mistake because he was not wearing orange security gain. Melissa and the lodge staff have everything, hoping that the fact that Lee was attacked by a strange animal, and the case is closed.

The episode is quite fun, that is to say that it is not surprising that Daley and Goldstein wrote this episode. For what? After Daley made his debut in Hollywood at a young age, he and Goldstein became creative partners, and they produced seriously phenomenal scripts.

Many careers have started on the wonder of a NBC season “Freaks and Geeks”, which is particularly remarkable if, once again, you consider that it only worked for 18 episodes. Paul Feig created the series, Judd Apatow worked on it, and he featured everyone from Linda Cardellini to Phillips to Seth Rogen in Jason Segel … And, in this case, John Francis Daley, who plays Sam Weir, younger brother to Cardellini Lindsey and one of the “Geeks”. “(He is joined by Bill Haverchuck by Martin Starr and Neal Schweiber by Samm Levine, and these guys are still working as regularly.)

Obviously, Daley’s winning and serious turn, because Sam helped launch his career in Hollywood, and whoever does not know this comedy of passing to adulthood probably knows Daley in turn that Dr. Lance Sweets. Daley made his debut as a character of the third season of the procedure, presenting the good doctor as a psychologist working with the FBI, which means that he comes to the Jeffersonian Institute thanks to his FBI colleague, the special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). Something that is remarkable about sweets is that it really looks, Really Young – which means that there is a lot of agitation made on the fact that he is incredibly on the baby’s face for a guy also accomplished – but he is incredibly good in his work and trained in classical psychoanalysis, often turning to Freudian theories and older thought schools. (This tends to annoy Booth, but Sweets is generally correct.) The candies finally become the first main character on “Bones” to die when, in the 10th season of the series, he was stabbed to death by an agent working for a ghost government. Despite their best efforts, Booth and Bones cannot save him, and the absence of candies and Daley is definitely felt throughout the rest of the show, which finally concluded after season 12.

The time of John Francis Daley, when Dr. Lance Sweets ended in 2014, but even before that, Daley started working with Jonathan M. Goldstein – in fact, Goldstein spent all his The Hollywood career working with Daley, so clearly the two are a match made in paradise. Their first great success occurred in 2011 with “horrible bosses”, which the two co-written; In 2013, they followed this with “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” and “Cloudy with a chance of meat dumplings 2.” The rest of their first feature film, “Horrible Bosses 2”, arrived in 2014, and in 2017, they wrote “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, which became a mastodon at the box office and cemented the two as a successful scriptwriting duo.

Goldstein and Daley also wrote one of the best comedies in recent memory studio, “Game Night”, which was released in 2018, and in 2023, they were both behind the phenomenal script for the Absolutely underestimated fantastic Epic “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor among thieves”. There is, frankly, without a doubt that these two guys are very good writers; If there is one thing that all these projects have in common, it is because they are funny and charming without being disgusting or irritating, so “Bones” fans should review “the truth in the myth” to live one of the first collaborations between Daley and Goldstein.

“Bones” is in trouble on Hulu now.
