"I know what you're thinking"...

oh man... now I'm getting no sleep.

Its it weird that I think that Simon Baker is more attractive than Patrick Jane; even though Patrick Jane is just Simon Baker's character?...

...I forgot about the music - the xylophone/keyboard-type music is a staple of The Mentalist.

Seconding MentalGal. The hairstyle, suit, and the WAY (not just the American accent) he speaks is exactly how he is when he's Patrick Jane.

Im thinking how i should never have had my home loan through ANZ.

He is using an american Accent because the whole point of the add is that he's being Patrick Jane, not Simon Baker. Hence the suit. And also hence the shooting it in america. I bet he earnt heapsxD

I saw this last night and was disappointed he was speaking with an American accent.

Even Alex O'Loughlin admits he wouldn't lose his accent because he just loves talking in Aussie slang.

I thought that too I thought it looked like Sydney but was shocked to learn it was in L.A. I guess he didn't find the time to fly back to Australia to do the ad. He's a local from where I'm from my brother used to be friends with his brother.

Interesting. I assumed it was shot in Australia because the cars are driving on the left side but I see now it's a one way street in LA.

The Australian accent version (spoof) cracked me up.

I'm wonder how much he earn taking part in this ad?... =)
