David Boreanaz has admitted shooting hit TV show Bones can be a squeamish business.

"You just make sure that you're not eating or having lunch," the actor said of dealing with the gruesome fake body parts the characters frequently have to find on the forensic crime drama.

"It's amazing how really gross they can make something look and how really real it is," David said whilst taking a break from filming.

"The prop guys, they never cease to surprise me.

"It gets a bit graphic, the bodies that happen, they always have the maggots that are eating the bodies or a rat that's scurrying in and out."


David - who plays Special Agent Seeley Booth in the series - is getting ready to direct his first ever episode of the hit crime show.

"I've done it before and I look forward to directing Bones for the first time," the former Angel star explained. "I like the process of it so it'll be a good time. I enjoy the directing aspect, producing and acting - all the spiel!"

Bones is currently airing on Thursdays at 9pm on Sky1 and Sky1 HD. Bones Season Three is currently out on DVD.

Pretty cool that he is getting a chance to do this. I enjoyed his first directoral effort on Angel and thought he did a nice job. The commentary he provided on the episode was fun as well, and I hope he has a chance to record a commentary on this episode for the Season 4 DVD set of Bones.

Cool! I'll watch this one. Thanks for posting!

I really enjoyed what he did with Soul Purpose. It was a strange script, and his directing complimented it well. I'm a big fan of the surgery scene with Fred and the part when he is in the field. I can't say his acting was great though, which is something I've noticed everytime an actor directs themselves.

Hmmm I don't remember noticing this in the past, but it has been a while since I watched the episode. I doubt he will have this problem on Bones though, as David and Booth are so similar.

:heartsatsu: That is very true Wyndam. Ever since David has became a producer on the show he has totally shaped his charatcer to be more like him. Which is a goo thing as David is aweome. He's added in the Philly hockey teams, the socks, belts crude jokes etc... Both used to be quite stiff and I'm happy to see that David and the writers on the show have loosened him up. Same goes for Brennan.

I don't think we'll have a problem with David directing and acting. He and Emily are pretty tallented. They both still take time at weekends and stuff to rehearse lines and ceratain scenes with their coaches. Looking forward to the episodes...season 4 has been pretty good so far, last weeks was very good.

I WANT ZACK BACK. Hodgens and Zack's King of the labs scens really made up for not so good-ish epsisodes.

Glad he's expanding in what could be considered a limited position, a TV regular doesn't often get to do much else.
