Bones: 10 Reasons You Should Love James Aubrey

6. He has a sense of humor.

Even though Bones is a show about investigating murder, one of the things that makes it special is the way it often has a lighter tone. While the content can be heavy at times, it’s a show that understands the need for comic relief.

That’s another reason Aubrey is such a useful addition to the cast. His sense of humor is dry and always perfectly timed.

7. He says it like it is.

Aubrey isn’t afraid to share his opinion. He’s given honest and frank advice to Booth (and others) on more than one occasion.

8. He loves to eat.

This probably the most defining characteristic of James Aubrey. The guy is always hungry and always eating, but food is also something he has a passion for.

It isn’t just that he eats all the time, but he has an appreciation for good food — and at times, exotic food. It makes him even more relatable, lovable, and funny.

9. He’s charming.

There isn’t much that’s more adorable to watch than to see James Aubrey’s burgeoning relationship with Jessica Warren. In winning her over, he’s managed a balance of confidence, honesty, quirkiness, and bashfulness that makes him utterly charming.

10. His character fits well with the rest of the cast.

The chemistry is undeniable, not just between Aubrey and Booth, but also between Aubrey and Brennan, as well as just about all of the other characters on the show. He even works well with Caroline.

The addition of Aubrey to Bones has added depth and humor, as well as new and interesting possibilities for the rest of the cast.
