A reader catches Ron Eldard in an incredible display of dedication to his craft:

Ron Eldard walked into the Fox Commissary today wearing his sunglasses (despite the lack of sun) and talking on his cell phone. I swear, I thought it was the billboard for Blind Justice coming to life! I don't know anyone who doesn't laugh out loud when they see that commercial.

No one's going to be laughing when Eldard, in another testament to his commitment to his role as a blind detective, puts out his eyes with a cocktail toothpick—but fails to gain the heightened olfactory sense that would allow him to smell bullets. Sadly, the show will be canceled three days after the self-inflicted blinding.
