The Mentalist star Simon Baker has suggested that his character Patrick Jane is growing darker.

Baker told Entertainment Weekly that the genius crime-fighter is on an “interesting journey”.

“It feels to me a little bit that, here’s a guy who is likable and empathetic,” he said. “And he’s slowly turning to the dark side and [becoming] maybe less empathetic.”

The Australian star admitted that he wants to keep reinventing the Jane character as the fourth season of The Mentalist continues.

“It’s always difficult when you’re on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years,” he explained. “I’m always looking for things that are interesting and different that I can exploit within the character.”

He added: “If they’re able to take him into these different paths and avenues, it makes it more refreshing for me.”

Baker revealed in October that he is contracted up to a potential seventh season of the CBS drama.

“We are in our fourth year, but I think my character is unlike most characters on TV,” he said. “If I put my mind to it, I can still make the character entertaining for me to play. I can still challenge myself a little bit.”

The Mentalist continues on Thursdays at 10/9c on CBS. The show will return to Channel 5 in the UK in February.

“The Mentalist” star Simon Baker and Paul Bettany are in negotiations to join the cast of “Margin Call,” an indie thriller that tackles the recent financial crisis.

Written by J.C. Chandor, who also directs, the project revolves around employees of an investment bank during a tumultuous 24-hour period during the 2008 financial collapse.

Baker will portray a ruthless, high-powered securities broker who oversees the characters played by Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci and Zachary Quinto and drives his colleagues to win by any means necessary.

Bettany will play a top-tier trader, unabashedly unafraid of who he is even as the crisis deepens.

Quinto is producing with Neal Dodson and Corey Moosa, his partners at Before the Door Pictures. Also aboard to produce are Joe Jenckes and Benaroya Pictures’ Michael Benaroya and Robert Ogden Barnum.

The film begins shooting next week in New York.

Baker has been nominated twice for a Golden Globe and once for an Emmy for his portrayal of private eye Patrick Jane on CBS’ hit show “Mentalist”. He appears in Michael Winterbottom’s “The Killer Inside Me,” opposite Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson, which is being released by IFC Films. He is repped by CAA and Untitled.

Bettany, repped by WME, Affirmative Entertainment and Independent Talent Group, recently wrapped “The Tourist” with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. He next stars as a vampire hunter in the post-apocalyptic Screen Gems flick “Priest.”

Hey everyone! The trailer for The Killer Inside Me has been released. I will add it to the media archive and make screencaptures of it later but for right now you can watch it below:
