If you do, remember the character named Jerry Espinsen (or however you spell that)--he's a lawyer, and fellow attorney Alan Shore has become close friends with, on the most recent episode? He's the guy that whenever he gets nervous or excited, he yelps and twitches. My question is, have they ever stated what is up with him? Does he have Tourette's?? I've looked up the show on abc.com, and it doesn't even mention this character. Thanks!

Re: Carlos's comment...yes Lincoln Meyer is an absolute hoot! He's so gay and so weird that he's positively amusing. But scary. lol I bet the actor that portrays him has a great time with that role! So glad that they finally arrested his creepy self though...he was a ticking time bomb.

He has Asperger's Syndrome. Here's a story, someone thinks he is on too much and is killing the show.

I do watch Boston Legal, and I think it's one of the best shows on TV. Some episodes this season are a little weak, but overall, I think it's just great.
Jerry does have some kind of affliction, but he's VERY smart. In the earlier seasons, he was like the chief researcher for CP&S, the law firm. They used to call him "Hands" because he put his plams on his thighs whenever he got excited or nervous or disoriented. He might have Tourette's, or something similar.
He used to be on staff at CP&S, but one day he took Shirley hostage, so they fired him. [Go figure.] But Alan has a soft spot in his heart, so he still tolerates Jerry. This is a pretty good story line. Jerry is an interesting character, played by a good actor. I would like to see his role continue.
What do you think of Lincoln? He's something else. He's the whacko who has Shirley tied up.
