MATHEWST. PATRICK
Detective Marjorino, FOX's Reunion
Wonder why he looks so natural as the tenacious Detective Marjorino? After four years as a cop on HBO's Six Feet Under (and a long-ago stint as a detective on General Hospital), St. Patrick, 37, has blood that practically runs blue. Here's what the single dad learned on the beat:
Always have backup: "If you are a woman and you are interested in me, my sister Tanya is gonna let you know that she is looking out for me. The first thing she'll say to you is. 'Don't hurt my little brother or you're gonna have to deal with me!' "
Don't bring the job home: "I'm reading a book, Daddy @Work, about loving your family and loving your job. I try to make sure my life is balanced between work and my son."
Trust your nose: "I love the smell of a woman—that perfumey, feminine fragrance. And I love the smell of food. Those two smells together, a woman and food—wow, now that's sexy"
