Will we see Jimmy Barrette again? TV Guide interview

Lost, Mad Men and Southland's Patrick Fischler Can Take a Punch
By TIM MOLLOY
TV Guide
excerpt:
TVGuide.com: How hard is it to switch between all these characters?
Fischler: The key, I've discovered... I think is the costumes. When I'm wearing the gun belt with the badge and the gun, it's really heavy. It's like 10 pounds added onto you. ... And then when I'm in that Dharma jumpsuit, they're hot and big and that feels different to me. And then with my hair parted and that white dinner jacket and the tux... the costumes help to lend themselves for me to become the character again.

I'm the furthest away from Jimmy Barrett right now. Finding him again is going to be hard. But I think putting that suit on I'll just snap to it pretty quick.

TVGuide.com: I hate to needle, but what you just said makes it sound like you'll be playing Jimmy again.
Fischler: Ahhh. ... I don't know what that meant. [Laughs]

.....Yay! I love Patrick Fischler, and his "Jimmy Barrett" is pretty great.

Fasten your seatbelts, Bebes, it's going to be a bumpy Season 3!

Well, I don't think the swings at each other (JB and DD) were finished....so, you are probably right, Dry.

I have a feeling there's going to be some more action between those two...they do hate each other so....

.....Well, I think you're right.

The Barretts are out in California with his show, aren't they? A cameo may not be out of the question, but Patrick Fischler is on 'Southland' now.

I love to hate Jimmy Barrett. But I think he's run his course.
