    Somebody recently posted a photo of the actor, wearing glasses.  Got me to wondering if he wears contacts and they are bothersome to him.

    In his scenes with Sami over the last few days, his constant rapid blinking has become more of a distraction than usual.

    Maybe he needs eye drops or something… OY!

    annoying!  I think he may be trying to see without the glasses and that is why he does that but I’m not sure.

    just a nervous thing.  I have a friend who does that.  He doesn’t wear glasses or contacts.

    that is not a publicity shot or a scene from the show, he is wearing glasses……big, ugly, unattractive, tortoise shell glasses (gazillions of frames that would look marvelous on him) that hide much too much of his face.  I think he probably does have to wear glasses and not wearing them when he has to shoot his scenes causes irritation, either from wearing contacts too long or simply shooting scenes without his glasses.  Then, again, he could have astigmatism.

    I think she means her friend doesn’t wear glasses or contacts.

    And I’ve worn contacts (but I prefer glasses)… the ONLY time I ever blinked that rapidly was when I was past due to take out my contacts and didn’t have any eye drops.  Hence, I prefer glasses.

    He doesn’t do it ALL the time, but when he does it it’s very distracting.

    others notice this too and are also driven crazy! He has always done this and sometimes more than others. Maybe it’s dry in the studio and with the bright lights it can be irritating. Get the guy some visine. How about using that as a lame product placement! It would make SENSE.

    I went through a period about 15-20 years ago where I blinked constantly and it drove me nuts.  My head and eyes ached from the blinking.  I went to the opthamologist and he had me see an opthamoligic neurologist.  The thought there was a neurological problem that was causing it.  I remember going through a battery of different eye and nerve tests.  Turns out there was nothing wrong and I eventually stopped but at the time it wasn’t anything I had control over.

    I always thought it was part of his acting portfolio.  He’s always seemed to blink more in the more emotional scenes.
