Tucker James is the class clown, your best friend, and your worst enemy, all rolled up into one. His character utilizes several facets of the teenage (and at times, adult) psyche to portray a well-rounded and easily adjusted individual. How the “Cool Book” could have kept him as a blank, I don’t get it. He uses his various talents of cunning and deception to carry off some of the greatest plots in scholastic based television history, however he simoultaneously plays a devoted friend and sibling without blinking an eye. Almost a little bit "Zach Morrisish," but definitely with a lot of animation and material of his own provided superbly by Ben Foster, over the course of Flash Forward's 26 episodes, he goes from a skinny, squeaky-voiced, little guy, to an awesome, caniving stud. He is without doubt my favorite character on the show and I think it was his power and command of situation onscreen that made this happen. I don't know if there will ever be another Tucker James ever. I will miss you Tucker.
