I think goatees can be cute! And curly hair, too...

Actually I have been surprised during  this last run through how many times
Nick was not clean shaven  (at least in the first two seasons.) And  even
when  he was,  there     was   more  often  than not   just the   hint of a
moustache.

From what I understand, the producers had Ger go scruffy, because they
thought he was too pretty to begin with. The almost-beard was supposed
to make him look tougher.

Yes, I remember seeing that in an early interview.  He said it made
it look more 'butch'.  :)  In that same interview he complained how
much it itched.  So it appeared that the facial hair was not his
choice. <g>

Personally, I'm not fond of facial hair.  And particularly not on Ger.  I
also like his hair a little longer.  But hey - I'll take what I can get.
ANYTHING just so we can see him in something new and a little more often - like
a weekly series!?!

Just out of curiosity, why not? I enjoyed them
together in both Tracker and Ger's Highlander ep. But
preferably,I would really like to see him get his own
series again, too.

As for the hair, I always liked him better clean
shaven...never really liked the facial hair in the
early Tracker eps. Now, the Nick-type stuff, that I
didn't mind...it was just something about the Zin
look.

--- Oh, wait, I get it....I'd also rather see him get
a show of his own....I loved Tracker, but I can see
the top billing as opposed to costarring thingy.

I've seen Ger in interviews say that the facial hair was to make him look
more 'butch'.   Like he needs it!  LOL

I know you're an AP fan, Mel, but, um, how can I say this?--AP is not exactly
in Ger's league in the acting department. (And, from what I heard at LCA this
year, he's not held in the highest regard by other actors who have worked with
him.)

As for the hair issue, I expect you guys know where I stand--cleanshaven,
please, and slightly longer hair!

Well said Nancy.

As for my opinion.  I don't ascribe to the theory that everything that Ger is
in is good.  This show was a DOG.  Nothing could save it.  I gave it chance,
I watched it because he was in it, nothing more.  Ger's parts were the only
shining moments in the thing.
