Here are some of the reactions to George Michael’s performance on “Eli Stone.”
George — he told me to call him George — does a good job in this role. I hope they follow-up on this relationship in future episodes, as the strange connection between Eli and George seems to have been cemented tonight; it was a dream, or sleeping vision, that led George to Eli. Maybe George is going to be plagued by visions of Eli giving closing arguments in court or something to help him decide what gigs to take and what songs to sing.
George Michael on “Eli Stone”: Watch Without Prejudice:
So I was pleasantly surprised to see that here Michael gets ample screen time, is at ease on camera, and has the opportunity to talk about something other than toilet sex. In fact, he acts as something of a moral compass for the episode. …
The most notable thing about the episode is that Michael is presented as a hero. All we’ve heard about him Stateside for the past few years are his run-ins with the law and some questionable out-of-context soundbites, and it’s nice to see him playing an intelligent, sensitive benefactor. I don’t think that there are many people who don’t know that Michael is gay at this point, and the show seemed determined to move past the sensational aspects of his coming out and present him as a man of considerable character.

😐 😀 😆 George Michael did an excellent job at acting on “Eli Stone”. I never thought about him being an actor but after I saw him act, I was convinced that he inclined with much more talent than music. I hope to see him acting in more shows in the future and hope that he will continue to make more heart felt music and show his face in The US more now. I’ve always been a fan of his but knew little about him. Im glad to see him back and hope he will be back to stay. Looled so GREAT on television. I LOVE YOU GEORGE!
❗ sorry about the spelling errors, I was saying that he was inclined to more than music as I see he has much more talent and he looked great on television.
