From executive producers Hart Hanson and Barry Josephson comes the second exciting season of BONES, a darkly amusing hour-long procedural with humor, heart and character, inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs. DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (Emily Deschanel) is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute and writes novels as a sideline. When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless – when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that CSI gives up – law enforcement calls in Brennan for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim’s bones.
Most law enforcement is unable to handle Brennan’s intelligence, her drive for the truth, or the way she flings herself headlong into each and every investigation. Special Agent SEELEY BOOTH (David Boreanaz) of the FBI’s Homicide Investigations Unit is the exception. A former Army sniper, Booth mistrusts science and scientists – the “squints,” as he calls them, who pore over the physical evidence – when it comes to solving crimes. But even he cannot deny that the combination of his people-smarts and Brennan’s scientific acumen make them a formidable team.
Brennan’s intelligence and social awkwardness mean that – aside from Booth – she is most comfortable with her equally brilliant colleagues at the Jeffersonian’s Medico-Legal Lab. ANGELA MONTENEGRO (Michaela Conlin), an artist who specializes in reconstructing facial features and crime scenes, is Brennan’s earthy and bawdy best friend; Brennan’s grad student and assistant ZACK ADDY (Eric Millegan) is a young prodigy with a genius IQ; and “the bug guy,” conspiracy theorist DR. JACK HODGINS (TJ Thyne), is an expert on insects, spores and minerals.

Personal Quotes
[On missing Sarah Michelle Gellar] "I loved working with Sarah... Sarah is great. A great person. Without Sarah I wouldn't be standing here right now. So I owe her a lot."
[From "Late Show with David Letterman" (1993) on his view on L.A.] "I see L.A. as a beautiful blonde with dirty underwear"
"I'd have to say, I can share Cordelia's pain".
"[on the subject of hipness] It's just one of those things. It's like buttering an English muffin. An English muffin is hip. Because it's so good".
[on appearing as Angel in the very last "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) episode:] "I pretty much slid right back in. It was another day of work. I'm not big with reunions, but it was fine."
[on his divorce from Ingrid Quinn:] "It was great at first, but soon became a real burden. Ingrid found it tough to cope with the fact that all of a sudden I'd become public property as opposed to her husband." [June 9, 2003]
[When told that Amy Acker told a reporter that he sometimes flashes his fellow stars:] "Yeah, I pull my trousers down in the middle of a serious take to see if they can keep a straight face. I need to lighten the moment, I guess."
_"Angel" (1999/I)_ co-star Amy Acker says, "We are all really good friends. But a lot of practical jokes are played. Like David will take his trousers off for no reason. Sometimes he'll give me a little flash of his... er... and I always get embarrassed! He never means for me to see, but I happen to walk right in when it's happening. But it's all in good fun. We do have a lot of downtime in between scenes when they're setting up the shot."
[on hearing that The WB, which canceled the series, has offered to return to _"Angel" (1999/I)_ with occasional TV movies or a miniseries] "As far as returning to the show for a reunion, I could probably put that to bed now: I have no interest in doing that. It would have to be a bigger challenge, rather than going back to something." (May 13, 2004)
[on being cast in _"Bones" (2005)_] I have love and admiration for what I've done in the past, but I'm looking forward to playing this character, Seely Booth. He's a simple guy on the outside - a cheeseburger and black cup of coffee guy. Inside, he's conflicted. (September 13, 2005)
[on the sexual tension between Booth and Brennan in _"Bones" (2005)_] The potential for their personal lives entering into their professional lives is, I just think, dynamic. I think we all remember when we would watch _"Moonlighting" (1985)_. You never remembered what crimes the characters were solving and, to me, that is character work. (November 22, 2006)
[on almost turning down the part of Seely in _"Bones" (2005)_] I had a difficult first meeting with [the producers] because I'm pretty frank. I was kind of in the mentality of, "This is who I am. This is me. I can offer this. But you don't have your leading lady yet." ... For me, I come from a stock of family [where] my handshake is better than a contract. And I've gotten burnt a lot on that, but I wear my heart on my sleeve and I will continue to. ... I looked at it as an opportunity to take a character, mold him and take a lot of chances. ... I personally am kind of sticking towards the attitude of what it's like to walk the fine line of potentially having a '69 Chevelle with a 396 under the hood and 375 horsepower, and the fine line of being correct as an FBI officer. (November 22, 2006) ''And I was kind of conflicted with some of the ideas of 'Is this going to be recent bones or . . . a recently decomposed body?' It just didn't feel right.
I didn't come from a traditional background of studying theater and doing Shakespeare. (December 27, 2006)
[about his character Seely Booth] He's a stand-up, blue-collar guy. I know the blue collar mentality. You meet these guys, you make friends, that's all stuff that I have.
[on working with acting coach Ivana Chubbuck:] I'm learning more how to do that now, draw on my own experience. It's a style she teaches that makes sense to me. I didn't know this could be so much fun. (New York Times, December 27, 2006)
[about his mother] I always thought of her as Doris Day. (New York Times, December 27, 2006)
For me, what I was doing with _"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)_ and _"Angel" (1999)_, it was all about the pain and the torture and the sense of being in the alleyway. Not to take anything away from it, but those were some learning, hard, difficult times when I didn't know what the hell I was doing. (New York Times, December 27, 2006)
I didn't grow up as child actor. I was fortunate to find this show with a small character that grew into this huge cult thing. I was like, "Let's ride it." (New York Times, December 27, 2006)
