Avery Brooks smiles constantly while Hawke never did. A discreet uplift of the corners of his mouth was a rare occurrence.
The Jesse Stone Movies are pretty good though, despite Tom Selleck playing a 30+ character when he was 65-70.
No doubt I will watch them all eventually as even bad Parker is better than no Parker

I assume you meant the TV show when saying "The Spenser series". I think I said before that I've never seen it. So it's not a reference for me. Also, I didn't know there was a movie (or movies). Now Jesse Stone is a different ball of wax as I've seen, if I remember correctly, two of them, Night Passage and Sea Change and I've read Night Passage and Trouble in Paradise so far. Like both the TV movies and the books.
