Oh, Tim, how can you be so perfect?

I want to be Tim DeKay when I grow up: link. He literally radiates warmth!

Tim Dekay, whose straight-laced FBI agent Peter Burke is half of one of television’s best bromances, said that the issue closest to his heart was homophobia. “I have many gay friends in the industry and I have some gay relatives and I just won’t stand it,” he explained. “Somehow for me, that’s always tied into bullying. Perhaps it’s different now, but growing up if somebody was gay or perhaps effeminate or acted differently, there was fear. People were afraid of that because it was different, and I think that’s where homophobia and bullying come from.”

“Whether Neal goes free or not, I think what’s most important is that these two guys continue to love each other, but not quite trust each other,” Tim said of the possibility of Peter’s partner walking free. “And the relationship between Peter and Neal just continues to get closer, and because it gets closer it means that they’re going to have face some bigger issues. Above all of this, it’s fun. We never take the fun out of these episodes."

\o/ It's so wonderful, to hear him talk about Peter's relationship with Neal, that they love each other. It's a father-son, big brother-little brother, best friends relationship, it's so changeable, but at its core, the relationship is about love. And that's wonderful.
