played The Observer in Fringe
The identity and true nature of the man referred to as "The Observer" is not known. His presence has been documented at the scene of numerous Fringe phenomena, but he observes rather than acts. He writes down all of his observations in a black notebook. He also has a fondness for spicy food, and drinks plain water. He appears to share a telepathic bond with a young proto-Observer (in "Inner Child"), but the origins of his own abilities, if any are not known. He and Walter Bishop are on speaking terms, and Walter appears to know who and what he is. He may or may not be gathering information for the alternate universe: a courier turns over gathered information on this reality to the Observer, or someone looking like the Observer, for delivery to "the enemy" in "Fracture." |
