Hank's backstory:
East Coast kid who came to Hollywood when his book got optioned. Fell into the Los Angeles lifestyle and has been trying to dig himself out ever since.

Back in New York, the seasons grounded him, constantly filling him with hope and disappointment. The bright white blanket and blue skies of the first snowfall, only to turn a grimy grey the next day, awakened his senses; reminding him that life was larger than him. Without him ever knowing it, the seasons moved his internal clock; the crisp air of fall turning increasing cooler and then winter reminding to turn inward. It was this never-ending cycle from which Hank drew upon for his writing. The city of eternal sunshine and perfect bodies numbed his heart and impeded his pen. It is from great angst that best-selling novels are made. Without the seasons providing cover, angst became personal and Hank’s life began to fall apart.

Hank's books include "South of Heaven," "Seasons in the Abyss," and "God Hates Us All" (which became a movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"), as well as a blog for Hell-A Magazine. Hank also wrote the book that Mia stole - published as F#@king and Punching - and the unpublished biography of Lew Ashby.

    Hank Moody is the smoothest guy on television. I want to be Hank Moody. Absolutly hilarious!!! Now that I'm reaching my mid-30's myself, its great to finally have a character I could relate to and live my old life vicariously through him. He always speaks the truth and everything seems to fall in his lap. Genius!! In a way, I dont ever want to see him get Karen back. Let the ride continue. The writing is incredible. Would love the opportunity to get in on the action and help with writing an episode. Let me know if you need a little help and/or advice. Keep it going!!! Easily the best show on television.

    I think Hank's Letter to Karen in season 2 is an absolutely beautiful letter and a must on any quotes list!

    The quote –

    Dear Karen,

    If you’re reading this it means I actually worked up the courage to mail it, so good for me. You don’t know me very well but if you get me started I have a tendency to go on and on about how hard the writing is for me. But this, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write.

    There’s no easy way to say this so I’ll just say it, I met someone. It was an accident, I wasn’t looking for it, it wasn’t on the make, it was a perfect storm. She said one thing, I said another, next thing I knew, I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Now there’s this feeling in my gut she might be the one. She’s completely nuts in a way that makes me smile, highly neurotic with a great deal of maintenance required, she is you, Karen. That’s the good news.

    The bad is I don’t know how to be with you right now. And that scares the **** out of me. Because if I’m not with you right now, I have this feeling that we’ll get lost out there. It’s a big, bad world full of twists and turns. And people have a way of blinking and missing the moment. The moment that could have changed everything. I don’t know what’s going on with us, and I can’t tell you why you should waste the leap of faith on the likes of me, but damn you smell good. Like home. And you make excellent coffee. That’s got to count for something right?

    Call me.

    Unfaithfully yours,

    Hank Moody.



    The Backdoor’s take on it –

    Who ever said that the art of a great love letter was out of date and over cliched, was sadly misinformed. And yes, we wont hold it on you if you let the river flow from those eyes now.
