September release set for McGinniss book on Palin JUNEAU, Alaska — A best-selling author accused of helping leak an unpublished tell-all on Sarah Palin is releasing his own book on the former Alaska governor this summer.

Amazon.com lists a Sept. 20 release date for author Joe McGinniss’ The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin.

McGinniss, who wrote a magazine expose on Palin and her natural gas pipeline plans, made headlines last year when he moved next door to the Palins in Wasilla for about three months while researching the book. The move prompted complaints by Palin, who had the fence between their properties extended.

More recently, McGinniss has been accused of helping leak a draft of an unpublished tell-all by former Palin aide Frank Bailey. Details from the manuscript, entitled Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of our Tumultuous Years, garnered national attention last week following the leak to news outlets and Alaska political circles.

McGinniss is a best-selling author whose previous works include The Selling of the President, about the marketing of Richard Nixon.

AP critics split on Oscar best picture winner

By Christy Lemire and David Germain Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Associated Press Movie Writers David Germain and Christy Lemire agree on who will win five of the six top categories at Sunday’s Academy Awards, but they are divided on the biggest of all.

Germain predicts The King’s Speech will be crowned best picture, while Lemire picks The Social Network. They both agree David Fincher will earn the directing Oscar for The Social Network.

Here are their predictions, with both sounding off on best picture, Lemire offering their take on best actor and director, and Germain giving their opinion on best actress, supporting actor and supporting actress.

BEST PICTURE Nominees: Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The King’s Speech, 127 Hours, The

Social Network, Toy Story 3, True Grit, Winter’s Bone.

Germain: The British monarchy has staying power, and so does The King’s Speech. It seemed the early favorite after premiering late summer at film festivals, but the it was relegated to also-ran status once The Social Network debuted and began its near-sweep of critics’ honors.

Then guilds representing directors, actors and producers — whose memberships have a lot of overlap with Oscar voters — dethroned The Social Network by giving their top awards to The King’s Speech.

There’s still a chance The Social Network could pull off an upset. It’s a biting commentary on the here-andnow, masterfully written, produced and performed.

But The King’s Speech is a virtually flawless work — elegant yet enormously entertaining, regal yet slyly amusing, momentous yet deeply personal. It’s a tale of unlikely camaraderie among the highborn and the

common folk and, surprisingly, an Everyman story whose Everyman just happens to be the king of England.

Old-time costume dramas such as The King’s Speech used to rule the Oscars, but edgy contemporary stories such as The Social Network have taken over in recent years. In a once-and-future-king swing back to historical pageants, The King’s Speech will reign come Oscar night.

Lemire: The King’s Speech is a gorgeous film, but it’s also a very safe film. It hits all the notes you expect it to hit and does so beautifully. They may as well hand out checklists at the door for all the elements that tend to appeal to Oscar voters: It’s about the British monarchy, it’s historical, it focuses on a character overcoming adversity.

The Social Network, meanwhile, is daring from its first moments. It grabs you with Aaron Sorkin’s smart, snappy dialogue. It moves you with David Fincher’s fluid, virtuoso directing. It takes topics that might have

The Social Network was the early favorite to win the best picture Oscar because it truly is the best picture of the year, and the best picture for our times.

Lemire: No one else but David Fincher could have directed The Social Network. Aaron Sorkin’s dense, sprawling script required a deft hand; his words, and his complex, Rashomon-style structure bring out the inherent sense of movement in Fincher’s directing style.

Technically, this is the least showoffy film Fincher has ever made. The Social Network is all about character, the drama of evolving relationships, the way greed and ambition bring people together and tear them apart. And yet he pulls off a signature Fincher-ish feat in his depiction of the Winklevoss twins, played by one actor — the commanding and charismatic Armie Hammer — in two separate roles.

Randy Newman looking for his second Oscar

By Jon Bream Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

MINNEAPOLIS — After 20 Academy Award nominations (and only one win), piano man Randy Newman still does not have an Oscar routine.

“The night is peculiar enough.

And then people are interested in what I’m wearing,” Newman said. “Sometimes you can go down the red carpet, and Brad Pitt isn’t there. Then it’s ‘Hey, Randy, look up here!’ ‘Look over here!’ If any actor is behind you, then it’s nothing. Either way, it’s plenty weird. It’s nothing you get used to.”

Even weirder for Newman is trying to analyze what wins best original song and why.

“You can’t set your valuation by awards,” he said. “It’s not necessarily based on merit. The year I won (2002 for ‘If I Didn’t Have You’ from Monsters Inc.), it was hardly the most distinguished thing I ever did. So what? I remember losing a couple of times that I thought I could have won. I thought, ‘This was a picture to which they may want to give something.’

“That may happen to my benefit; they may want to give Toy Story 3 something more than just best animated. God knows I could have done a concerto for typewriter and it might have worked because the picture is so solid.”

Yes, Newman is nominated again this year, for penning “We Belong Together” for Toy Story 3. He’s competing against only three other songs, instead of the usual four.

“It’s a funny thing with (Oscar) songs. They’re the poor stepchild,” said the noted curmudgeon, speaking by phone from his Los Angeles home while babysitting his infant granddaughter. “Last year, they didn’t perform any of the songs.

Dave Martin/Associated Press/file

Randy Newman is shown arriving on stage to perform during the 2008 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans on May 1, 2008. The musician is nominated for an Oscar for his song ‘We Belong Together’ from ‘Toy Story 3.’

As if they had three hours of slam-bam entertainment. It’s like vaudeville but without the music. This year, they are performing.”

Could it be because Gwyneth Paltrow is singing a nominated song from Country Strong?

“Good point there,” he said.

In any case, he accepts the inscrutable rules of show business. Just as he accepts the awards: three Emmys (two for his songs for Monk) and five Grammys (including one this year for Toy Story 3).

Newman does 40 to 50 concerts a year, playing old favorites like “Birmingham,” “Louisiana”

“I always like comedy. If you make people laugh, you sort of know you’re all right out there.”

— Randy Newman, musician and “Sail Away” as well as a few of his movie songs, including the sentimental “I Love to See You Smile” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” He has written scores and songs for dozens of films, including Ragtime, Parenthood, Cars and the three Toy Story flicks.

Performing is what Newman, 67, enjoys the most, though. “It’s something I’ll continue to do for

crafter’s corner Haute Homemade ▶ The in Sunday’s Life section

as long as I’m able,” he said. “I don’t think I’m going to officially retire. It would hurt me a little to give that up. Writing, from time to time, I’d like to quit. If I can’t maintain a certain decent level of songs, I’d like to think I’d quit.”

Newman became a professional songwriter at age 17. In the 1960s, he wrote hits for Gene Pitney, Cilla Black and the Alan

Price Set. His own 1968 debut album featured “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today,” which has been covered by everyone from Nina Simone to Pat Boone. While he thinks that song may have generated the most royalties (movies are a bigger paycheck), “Mama Told Me Not to Come,” recorded by Three Dog Night in 1970, became his first No. 1 song.

Nothing has been more enduring for him, though, than “You Can Leave Your Hat On,” which became part of the repertoire of Joe Cocker, Etta James and Tom Jones — and strippers worldwide (thanks to Jones’ version in the 1997 film The Full Monty).

Newman’s own infrequent albums — six in the 1970s but only two in the ’80s, two in the ’90s and one in the ’00s — are filled with fierce social commentary and biting satire. His “Short People” shot to No. 2 in 1977 even though the irony of his antiprejudice tune eluded many listeners. His equally ironic “I Love L.A.” became a hit, too, before it was transformed into a theme song for ABC-TV. The humor comes from his family, Newman said. Four major men in his life — his dad, a doctor, and his three paternal uncles, all film composers — were funny.

“I always liked comedy,” said Newman, who co-wrote the script for 1986’s hit movie Three Amigos with Steve Martin and Lorne Michaels. “It’s an odd style that I have. It’s not on purpose.

In part, I think it’s some sort of psychological defect. If you make people laugh, you sort of know you’re all right out there. If you play a ballad and everyone stays real quiet, you’re all right, too.

But laughter’s like immediate affirmation.”

And more reassuring than a walk down the Academy Awards red carpet.

Adele’s 2nd album is personal and perfect

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

Adele, 21 (Columbia Records) “I heard that you’re settled down, that you found a girl, and you’re married now,” Adele sings softly on the closing track, “Someone Like You.” “I heard that your dreams came true, guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you,” she continues over a simple piano melody.

“Someone Like You” is just one of 11 perfect tunes Adele co-wrote on her sophomore CD, 21, as a heartbroken Adele tries her best to keep a stiff upper lip while lamenting about what once was — and what could have been.

The disc finds the British singer tackling a recent breakup. On most of the tracks, she’s trying to convince her former lover that she is “the one” — and she sounds so convincing that listeners will wonder what’s wrong with Adele’s ex for letting her go.

She sings a loud plea on “Don’t You Remember,” ending with the question: “When will I see you again?” On “I’ll Be Waiting” — highlighted by the saxophone, trumpet and more — Adele is ready to change, “be somebody different” and

“better to you.” And on “One and Only,” she’s bold, singing with a beautiful screech: “I dare you to let me be your one and only.”

Even if she did something wrong, it’s all right in our book, thanks to Adele’s killer voice, which is raw and soulful. Throughout 21, she hits all the right notes at the right moments — and then some.

She sounds epic on “Set Fire to the Rain” and “Turning Tables,” which also gets a boost because of the delightful sounding strings. And on the drum-filled “Rumour Has It,” Adele plays the mean girl, sounding confident, sassy and in control.

21 is the follow-up to Adele’s 2008 debut, 19.

That album had gems like “Chasing Pavements,” “Melt My Heart to Stone” and “Hometown Glory,” helped her win two Grammys and gain worldwide fame. But with 21, Adele, who is now 22, has created more than just an album with good songs: She’s crafted a masterpiece. Can’t wait for 25.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: There are many top-notch collaborators on 21, including Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth and Dan Wilson. But the Ryan Tedder-produced “Rumour Has It” is the disc’s most adventurous track, full of lovely hand claps.

Farrelly brothers fail with ‘Hall Pass’ hall pass H1/2 rating: R for crude and sexual humor throughout, language, some graphic nudity and drug use Running time: 1:38 Starring: Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate

By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel

Those There’s Something About Mary Farrelly Brothers try to get their edge back with Hall Pass, a rude and seriously crude riff on taking a vacation from marriage.

But as they get older, they’re having more and more trouble balancing the sentimental with the outrageously vulgar. They’ve made a mature comedy about immature men acting immaturely. It’s The Hangover without that movie’s sucker punches.

Hall Pass is about husbands who talk about sex too much, fantasize too often and share all this adolescent behavior with each other and with their long-suffering wives.

“Driving in a car with you is like riding with a horny bobble head,” Maggie (Jenna Fischer) complains to her ever-ogling spouse, Rick (Owen Wilson).

Rick’s pal is the even cruder Fred (Jason Sudeikis), a 16-yearold in a 40ish insurance agent’s body. He’s the sort of guy who drops the “Get any action last night?” question on one and all.

Fred’s foul mouth, overheard as he and Rick talk dirty and dirtier, gets them both in hot water. Then Fred tops that with a little masturbation in his minivan.

Acting on the advice of therapist Dr. Lucy (Joy Behar, with nothing funny to play), Maggie and Fred’s wife Grace (Christina Applegate) decide to bestow upon them a one-week “hall pass” from marriage. Go out, tear it up, get it out of your systems, they say. And behind their backs, they’re thinking their men are “domesticated cats, scratching at the door.” Let them out and they’ll

Warner Bros./Associated Press

Jenna Fischer, left, and Christina Applegate are shown in a scene from ’Hall Pass.’ find out what the real world is like for a single man at 40.

As Rick and Fred round up their admiring poker buddies (dullards) to watch them cruise the nearest Providence, R.I., Applebee’s, they realize quickly that they’re remembering their single days through rose-colored glasses. Fred trots out weary pickup lines.

“Do you know much a polar bear weighs?”

Um, no.

“Enough to break the ice. Hi, my name’s Fred!”

The guys binge on ribs and beer and doze off while their wives are tempted by members of a minor league baseball team.

Fischer is ultra-frumpy in the early scenes, but progressively prettier as the film goes along.

The Farrellys, working from script they co-wrote with others, make sentimental-about-love points in between their usual toilet jokes, masturbation gags, full frontal nudity and incredibly coarse come-ons.

Rick and Fred have trouble stepping up to the plate, even when the flirty babysitter (Alexandra Daddario) and the Aussie “java babe” (Nicky Whelan) make their intentions known. That’s when the boys’ old pal, the serial womanizer Coakley gets back into town. The one-time Oscar nominee the Farrellys cast in that

role is the best joke and funniest performer in the movie.

Wilson officially ages out of his “dude” years with this middleaged role. He let himself go physically and seems to have lost his fastball, comically.

Which has long been true of the Farrellys. With Judd Apatow and others pushing the comic boundaries beyond their Something About Mary hair gel joke, they’re left to put penises in uncomfortable places and projectile diarrhea in the middle of a seduction. That, and a gunplayand-melodrama riddled finale reek of desperation.

And there’s no Hall Pass that excuses them from that.

The list of losing actors in Westerns is much longer — about two dozen, including Eastwood for Unforgiven and all three nominees from Dances With Wolves: Costner, Mary McDonnell and Graham Greene.

Among other Oscar losers in Western roles are Jack Palance in 1953’s Shane, Chief Dan George in 1970’s Little Big Man, Julie Christie in 1971’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Madeline Kahn in 1974’s Blazing Saddles and Casey Affleck in 2007’s The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford.

Continuing his late-career renaissance, Jeff Bridges is nominated for best actor as Rooster Cogburn in the latest True Grit, but this year’s money in that category is on another period role from a different era — Colin Firth in The King’s Speech.

Jeff Bridges is shown as Rooster Cogburn in a scene from the 2010 film ‘True Grit.’ The movie has been nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award, but history shows that Westerns have not fared well at the Oscars.

‘Gears of War 3’ set for Sept. 20 release

By Derrik J. LangP Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The battle for the planet Sera will continue this fall.

“Gears of War 3,” the final chapter in Epic Games’ otherworldly Xbox 360 shoot’em-up trilogy, is scheduled for worldwide release Sept.

20, except in Japan, where it will debut two days later — the developer announced Wednesday. The third edition finds human soldier Marcus Fenix battling the Lambent, a mutated version of the reptilian Locust Horde.

“They burst out of the ground in these veiny, treelike stalks that transport them throughout the world,” said design director Cliff Bleszinski. “It’s like an embryonic sac. It’s nasty stuff. You fight those guys for about a third of the experience, then for the rest of the game you deal with the latest evolution of — or

Delta Squad member Marcus Fenix is shown in a scene from ‘Gears of War 3.’ should I say the devolving — Locust.”

At the end of 2008’s “Gears of War 2,” Fenix and the remaining members of the Delta Squad flooded the city of Jacinto, one of the last bas-

tions of humanity on Sera, to cripple the emerging Locust and Lambent forces. Bleszinski said the M-rated video game series’ hulking baddies have gone “almost feral” in the third installment, which

was delayed from an April release.

“It’s something you don’t often get at a studio,” said Bleszinski. “We were originally talking to Microsoft about an April release, and we certainly could have done it, and it would’ve been great, but now that we’re talking about a holiday release, it’s extra time that allows us to step back from our work for a bit and ask what works and what doesn’t work.”

Bleszinski said a public beta test of the multiplayer mode, which adds “team deathmatch” and the ability to play as the Locust to the mix, will launch this spring and will be “just as much a bug-finding mission as it is a marketing exercise.”

The first “Gears of War” was released in 2006.

The series has sold more than 12 million copies, according to Microsoft.

Latest Radiohead album great for fans This might surprise you, but I can’t recommend Radiohead’s new album, The King of Limbs.

I know you’ve just braced yourself against your computer desk, kitchen table or wherever you read The Star and just shouted “What, you say?”

But allow me to clarify. If you aren’t a Radiohead fan or have never listened to Radiohead, then The Bobby King of Limbs isn’t Bozeman exactly a great jumpPop ing in point. And if you Cultured are a Radiohead fan, I assume you’ve already purchased and listened to it. If you haven’t, then what are you waiting for?

It’s a great album, one worth diving into and getting to know.

Limbs tested the lifecycle of hype when Radiohead announced Monday, Feb. 14, that the band would be releasing Limbs less than a week later — that

Saturday, Feb. 19. However, maybe as a way of saying you should expect the unexpected, Radiohead released it a day early. This time the band is charging a set fee for downloading — about $9 — whereas their 2007 release In Rainbows allowed listeners to pay whatever they felt the album was worth. You also have the option to pre-order their full package that includes artwork, the CD, the download and the album on vinyl.

Limbs is a flow of detailed textures and sounds that have been meticulously crafted into songs. Limbs’ textures are set apart by their layered, detailed electronic sounds — steady, with almost mechanical drumming opens the album with the track “Bloom.”

In “Bloom,” lead singer Thom Yorke’s first words are “Open your mouth wide/A universal sigh” and from there the organic lyrics bloom (see what I did there?) and become a constant contrast to the electronic sounds throughout the album. “Bloom” ends beautifully with Yorke wailing: “I’m moving out of orbit/ Turning in somersaults/A giant turtle’s eyes /As jellyfish float by.”

From the first track, it’s easy to tell that, while a lot of initial beauty lies in the 37 minutes of music on Limbs, it is something that needs to be mulled over and digested. However, the band released a music video for their fifth track, “Lotus Flower,” one of the catchier songs. I didn’t watch the music video until I had listened to the album as a whole first, and I was expecting their first single to be a climactic kind of song, one where all of the mulling tension is building to. But it kept pace with the other tracks and the album as a whole never had a crescendo moment, which I feel is one of the weaknesses of Limbs.

But let’s consider this: The full preorder package of Limbs comes with two vinyl albums. Now this could just have special outtakes or recordings, but eight songs — at just slightly over 37 minutes — will easily fit on one vinyl record. So perhaps the second half of this album is on the second record, it’s a possibility.

I’ll leave you with lyrics from Limbs’ last song, “Separator”: “If you think this is over then you’re wrong.”

‘Moved, motivated and emotionalized’ JSU’s ‘The Gospel at Colonus’ merges Greek tragedy with the spirit of the black church

Special to the Star

Though brilliant and revolutionary in its execution, it’s a concept that audiences in the Theron-Montgomery Building at Jacksonville State University may find themselves trying to fully grasp while filing into the darkened theater.

But once the performance begins, the time for analysis will cease as the spirit and energy of the performance takes hold.

This is The Gospel at Colonus, the latest production by the JSU drama department, which weds the final chapter of Sophocles’ trilogy of King Oedipus with the joyous fervor of an African-American church service.

At first, it might sound like an odd pairing, but given some perspective it actually makes perfect sense, explains JSU professor and director Susan McCain.

“It’s based on the idea that in order to understand redemption, one must have first suffered,” she says. “And that’s where the idea of Oedipus and his suffering is paralleled with the suffering of African-Americans, who find so much of their redemption in their church services.”

Set years after the Greek king has murdered his father and married his mother, The Gospel at Colonus opens to find a blind, old and frail Oedipus, banished from Thebes, wandering along the outskirts of Athens.

In order to set the proper mood while also catching the audience up with what has happened previous to Oedipus’ arrival in Colonus, there will be a short film, titled God’s Smiling Lightening by Trace William Cowen, a junior English major at JSU. “We’re focusing on the stark image of a black bird, which serves as a dark omen of things to come,” he says. “There’s also a lot of violent imagery that foreshadows what’s to come for Oedipus and the terrible turns his life takes.”

The title comes from a line in the play’s monologue and will also feature music by Kanye West to keep audiences in a “contemporary frame of mind,” Cowen added.

Written by award-winning director Lee Breuer, alongside longtime collaborator and composer Bob Telson, The Gospel at Colonus officially premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1983, was taped for a PBS special in 1985, played on Broadway in 1988 and has since toured the world — starring Morgan

Feb. 25-March 3, 2011 ◆ JSU student releases documentary on love and relationships

The journey began with a single comment left by a relative stranger.

Trace William Cowen, a junior English major at Jacksonville State University, has a website — tracewilliamcohen.com — where he posts a variety of personal passions ranging from poetry to music, photography and “existential rants.”

It was amid one of these myriad poetry posts that a young woman named Melissa, who lived in Ohio at the time, left a comment that struck an emotional chord with Cowen.

The two began a friendship that subsisted largely through e-mail.

“And as our conversations became more open and intimate,” Cowen remembers, “she said that she’d fallen in love with someone she never met, someone she met online.”

Melissa ended up moving to California to live with her boyfriend. This sparked Cowen’s creativity, believing that the couple would

make for an interesting documentary dissecting love in the digital age.

But that one couple begat several others, the end result being I Like You, a documentary on love and relationships, which Cowen has divided into six chapters with new segments being released via his website every Monday.

“Through this I’ve learned that you can wholeheartedly believe in people and they won’t always let you down,” Cowen says. “It’s about the power of human connections.”

Heading into the project, Cowen admittedly had a negative perspective toward online dating as it could easily create a sense of emotional detachment. But after interviewing various couples, that perspective changed.

“You might tell someone you love them over text message, but it really doesn’t mean much,” he says. “To talk to these people and to see how and why their relationships worked, I think it gives some people the chance to find someone they otherwise would’ve never met.

“It’s a way of making a real connection … it’s a way of falling in love.”

But the idea was born some 20 years earlier when Breuer was wandering around the ancient ruins of a Greek theater in Turkey and stumbled over a rock that turned out to be a Dionysian altar. In ancient Greece, religion was divided — those who followed Apollo and those who followed Dionysus.

It was then and there that Breuer decided to combine a Greek tragedy with a modern church service. And while they may be separated by a millennia — at their core, the Greek tragedy and the uproarious nature of the black church service are kindred spirits, Breuer said in a recent interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

“What happens in a church service emotionally happens in the theater, too,” he says.

“The key quality that the church and theater share is catharsis. In Greek tragedy, you create pity and terror. In the religious sense, you add joy and blessedness. I think that we’ve been so successful over all these years because the show combines all these qualities.”

As for the JSU production, the audience itself will become part of the show as cast members are apt to dance and sing across the aisles, getting into the spirit.

“This is all one big revival,” McCain says.

“The goal is to have everyone moved, motivated and emotionalized.”

It will also be educational. Friday’s 10 a.m. performance is free and open to area schools, while the evening performance is Pay as You Will, because McCain firmly believes “anything of value is worth giving away.”

And because Sophocles’ tragedy remains true to original settings, theme and prose, it will serve as an engaging introduction to the literary classic, especially for high school students.

“Learning it this way, as opposed to in a classroom lecture, is what will really makes it stick,” McCain says. “You’ve got all that music beneath it, all that emotion beneath it, and all that movement beneath it.

“That’s the way we learn — through our senses.”

Forest Whitaker fights crime on ‘Suspect Behavior’

By Frazier Moore Associated Press

NEW YORK — Forest Whitaker is one terrific actor. From his start two decades ago in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, he has logged powerful performances in such films as Platoon, Bird, The Crying Game and Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, and in a season-long arc of the acclaimed TV drama The Shield. For his portrayal of mad Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in 2006’s The Last King of Scotland, he won an Oscar for best actor.

But don’t think of Whitaker as only an actor. Think of him as a student — he does.

“Constantly, constantly,” he says in his disarming, feathery voice. “I like to continue to explore.”

Now for Whitaker the exploration is continuing on, of all things, a spinoff of the 6-year-old CBS procedural Criminal Minds.

In Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior (which premiered to a hit-size audience last week and airs Wednesday at 9 p.m., right after its progenitor), Whitaker plays Special Agent Sam Cooper, who heads up an elite team of agents within the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, charged with capturing the nation’s most nefarious criminals (or at least some of the bad guys the other show doesn’t nab).

The new CBS series follows a tried-and-true storytelling formula. But Whitaker, who says he signed on early in the development process and helped shape his role, sees Suspect Behavior as a character study as much as a procedural.

“My character is trying to uncover light,” Whitaker says over diet colas in Manhattan last week.

“He feels every person has inside of him a light, and he’s stripping away all the things that cover it in shadows so he can get to the source. And from that discovery he hopefully can find a common ground.”

That’s a lot to expect for anybody — bonding one week with a lowlife who abducts little girls, another week with a psycho who

Forest Whitaker poses for a portrait Feb. 16 in New York. The Oscar-winning actor now plays Special Agent Sam Cooper on the new CBS show ‘Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavoir.’ gouges out the eyes of her victim.

But as Sam Cooper says to a colleague on the show, “You have to know them. Can’t be afraid.”

And in a future episode, even Cooper himself becomes the perpetrator.

“In a way, at least, I’m put in that position,” Whitaker confides.

“The writers are confronting the question, ‘What are any of us capable of?’ If we can get understanding, we can find compassion, and if compassion occurs and grows big enough, theoretically you should find love. That’s what I’m really looking for: Where we’re all one thing.”

With that, he chuckles at himself and his lofty-sounding talk.

In person, the 49-year-old Whitaker doesn’t come across as an actor of kaleidoscopic proportions. At 6 feet and 2 inches, he is more like an oversized teddy bear,

with a friendly manner, his distinctive drooping eyelid (he was born with it) and a blinding smile.

Born in Longview, Texas, Whitaker grew up in Los Angeles, where his success in high school football landed him an athletic scholarship at Cal State Fullerton. Then he transferred to the University of Southern California to study voice on a music scholarship. Then he made the shift to drama.

But along with what he learned in drama classes, he applied knowledge gleaned from martial arts and Eastern philosophy, which he began studying as a youngster.

He cites this lesson be borrowed from the dojo: “You should understand that everything doesn’t go in a straight line, that some things go down and up and move around in order to get to a

target.

“Of any principle in acting,” says Whitaker, “I think of that more than anything else.”

To prepare for his role on Suspect Behavior, he spent time at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Va. But in the past, such as Last King, he was known to withdraw into his rigorously created character, on- and off-set throughout a film’s production. That’s a totalimmersion process he’s rejecting on the new series.

“At times, I was more of a hermit, kind of socially inept,” he explains, adding, “I’m better with people than I used to be,” and speaks happily of being part of a family on Suspect Behavior that might be together for years. Having wrapped the 13 episodes of its first season, he reports, “I like the cast and the crew and the writers.”

Meanwhile, he has found time

within his series commitment to pursue other projects. The director of several films, he aims to do more, and among his credits as producer is Brick City, a Peabody Award-winning docuseries aired

by Sundance Channel focusing on Newark, N.J., and that troubled city’s charismatic mayor, Cory Booker.

It’s all part of Whitaker’s devotion to being a student.

“When I was a little kid,” he recalls, “I wanted to be an ethologist. I had learned that word for an animal behaviorist and I remember saying to my mom, ‘If you really look at people and listen to them, you can discover who they are and where they live and what they’ve done.’

“So, in a way, what I’m doing now is pursuing that. I’ve got the perfect job to keep exploring what I’m interested in.”

A: Whitmore, who starred in one-man shows about Harry Truman and Will Rogers, indeed played Theodore Roosevelt in Bully: An Adventure With Teddy Roosevelt, which was put on film in 1978. Unfortunately, I cannot find an authorized version of it on VHS or DVD. Q: I was watching a movie called Uncorked with Julie Benz and Jobeth Williams on TV and would

Other credits include guest roles on CSI: NY, CSI: Miami and Castle, and the movies True Blue, Hellhounds and The Switch. He also races cars and motorcycles.
