our life is not a movie or maybe

i'm not feeling really good today so my sister told me earlier to do something for myself, like take a nap, but i am having trouble falling asleep so instead i'm listening to CSI: NY on the television and Okkervil River on my computer (yes, at the same time), anyways, i thought it might be a good time to write about my favorite actor/model/sketch artist/director... i don't think that there is anyone else with all those attributes so i am comfortable saying he is my favorite ^_^


matthew gray gubler, matthew as Dr. Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds

i discovered Matthew Gray Gubler when my mother told me that i might like the television show Criminal Minds and i ended up getting addicted but maybe a small reason of that was that i kind of got really attached to MGG's character dr. spencer reid, then i ended up looking up a bunch of information about MGG himself and discovered all these interesting things about him and well, then i couldn't help but like him even more

matthew being a sexy model

first of all MGG is really gorgeous (if you could see me watching criminal minds alone you might find me gushing every time he is shown on screen), which makes sense that he actually modeled for a short period of time even though he doesn't really understand why (but i do!) he actually went to NYU to study directing and ended up getting to work with Wes Anderson (so jealous! Wes is one of my favorite directors), Wes Anderson even gave him a small role in his film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, also, MGG claims that him getting the role on criminal minds was a complete accident (but what a wonderful accident it was!)


one of matthew's watercolor sketches

some more interesting things about MGG is that during filming of criminal minds he made these self-deprecating mockumentaries that i find hilarious and i think he has such an endearing sense of humor, he also makes these watercolor sketches that you can find on his website that are fantastic, he was never trained in art and i just love his artwork because the fact that he wasn't trained makes his work appear reminiscent of outsider art and, well, i just love it


the first of matthew's "documentaries"

so maybe this blog might have been just an excuse for me to google pics of matthew gray gubler but i still think if you like what you read in this blog about him that you should definitely check him out, you may end up liking him too

<3





p.s. another cute thing about MGG is that he doesn't ever wear socks that match, apparently his grandmother told him it was bad luck and the one time he actually remembers wearing matching socks recently he ended up spraining his ankle, isn't that just adorable? ^_^
