Kevin Corrigan : The Mentalist: Robert Kirkland vs. Michael Kirkland

The Mentalist: Robert Kirkland vs. Michael Kirkland

Kevin Corrigan seemed to be playing two roles in the Mentalist. Although he was never credited for playing his twin brother Michael, his varying behavior seems to indicate that he was.

Robert (Bob) Kirkland was searching for his twin brother Michael, whom he thought was involved with Red John. To that end he was willing to torture (cut fingers off) a suspected Red John associate (Richard Haibach) to get RJ's location/identity.

Yet in the hospital, the injured Jason Lennon was asked by Kirkland, "Do you recognize me?" Jason Lennon was a RJ associate, and could be valuable in tracking RJ down, yet Kirkland kills him with an injection of air, which causes an air embolus, and he then tells 16d0 PJ that he had said nothing. (5x18)

Contradictory behavior, which I can only interpret that it was Michael Kirkland who killed Lennon, to protect RJ, and Robert Kirkland who snipped the fingers of the other RJ associate to elicit information.

Impossible is illogical.
Lack of evidence is not proof.
