MonkHey, hey fellow Monkies, did you miss me? I for one missed Monk, although I didn’t realize how much until I saw tonight's episode, which was hilarious and, at times, heartbreaking. Monk seemed more vulnerable than ever when he spoke in front of Julie's class on career day.

Picture it: You're a straitlaced, by-the-book FBI agent. Then, you're shot in the head, you're technically dead for 10 minutes and you wake up an emotional wreck with questionable personal-grooming habits. That's Jeffrey Donovan's alter ego, Det. David Creegan on USA's Touching Evil, in a nutshell. Here, the 36-year-old cult fave offers a great glimpse into Evil, as well as his past and future in acting.
TV Guide Online: What do you think of your mug on those huge billboards for the show?Jeffrey Donovan: I was in Vancouver taping the show for five months and just got back. I drove down Sunset Boulevard and thought, "That's ridiculous! Could they make the picture any bigger?" Who's the good-looking guy? That's not me. That guy is Jeffrey Airbrushed Donovan.
