Adrian Monk is the fictional protagonist of the USA Network television series Monk. Tony Shalhoub portrays the character, who is sometimes referred to as Mr. Monk or Detective Monk. Monk is a legendary former homicide detective in the San Francisco Police Department. His obsessive-compulsive disorder, severely intensified by the death of his wife, has interfered with his job and resulted in his suspension from the department. Since then, he has been working as a private consultant for the department, hoping to be reinstated.

Other fictional detectives, such as Lt. Columbo and Sherlock Holmes have inspired the creation of the character. Series co-creator David Hoberman has admitted that Monk is also partly inspired by himself. Other actors, such as Dave Foley, John Ritter, Henry Winkler, Stanley Tucci, Alfred Molina and Michael Richards were considered for the role of the character, but the network eventually chose Shalhoub because they felt he was someone who could "bring the humor and passion of Monk to life."

Both Monk and Shalhoub have garnered many accolades. Monk was included in Bravo's list of The 100 Greatest Television Characters of All Time, and Shalhoub has won various awards for his portrayal, including a Golden Globe Award, three Primetime Emmy Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Development

Creation

Monk was originally envisioned as a "more goofy and physical" Inspector Clouseau type of character.[3][4][5] However, co-creator David Hoberman came up with the idea of a detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder.[3] This was inspired by his own bout with self-diagnosed obsessive-compulsive disorder; in a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette interview, he stated that, "Like Monk, I couldn't walk on cracks, had to touch poles. I have no idea why – but if I didn't do these things, something terrible would happen".[4] Monk is also inspired by Sherlock Holmes.[3] Monks assistants assume roles that are similar to Dr. Watson,[6] and his brother Ambrose displays various similarities to Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes' older brother.[7][8][9] In addition, the character is also inspired by Columbo.[3][8][10]

When trying to think of a possible name for the character, co-creator Andy Breckman decided to look for a "a simple monosyllabic last name, with an unusual colorful first name".[3] Along with the producers of the show, Breckman decided "Adrian Monk" sounded "kind of quirky and it was in keeping with the Sherlock Holmes mold."[3] Ileane Meltzer, costume designer for the show, wanted to create a signature look for the character.[11] With Shalhoub, she researched Inspector Clouseau, Lt. Columbo and Sherlock Holmes for inspiration.[11] Meltzer created a "tight-fitted, uptight and buttoned up" look for the character because he was described as "a very uptight human being".[11] She decided not to have Monk wear a tie, because they carry too many germs.[11]

Casting

Shalhoub was cast because the producers felt he could "bring the humor and passion of Monk to life".[12]

Co-creator David Hoberman revealed that the casting sessions were "depressing".[13] USA network's executive vice president Jeff Wachtel stated that looking for the right actor to portray Monk was "casting hell".[14] After two years of developing, the producers still had not found an actor to play the part.[13] Although Michael Richards was considered, distributors of the show ABC and Touchstone worried that the audience would typecast him for more comdedic roles, after his previous work as Cosmo Kramer on the sitcom series Seinfeld.[12][15] After Richards dropped out of the project, he went on to star in another series about a private detective, The Michael Richards Show, which was canceled after six episodes.[16]

After the script for Monk was sold to USA Network, the network considered a small number of actors, including Dave Foley, John Ritter, Henry Winkler, Stanley Tucci, Alfred Molina and Tony Shalhoub. Eventually the list was narrowed down to Tucci, Molina and Shalhoub.[14] However, because Tucci and Molina were unavailable due to other projects, USA made an appointment with Shalhoub.[14] Wachtel told Shalhoub that the role of Adrian Monk was a "career-making role", and that "this is the one people are going to remember you for".[14] At first Shalhoub did not know how to react; as he explained, "I was worried - this character is so irritating, how do you make him likable when he's in so many scenes of an hour-long show? Then I realized he was more like me than I probably like to admit, and I took it."[17] To prepare for the part, Shalhoub did research with a Los Angeles psychotherapist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder.[17] Shalhoub only signed up for a small number of episodes because he was doing film roles and did not want to be restricted to a long-term contract. After the show was positively received, he signed a full time contract.[18]

Personality

"Monk is a living legend. Quick, brilliant, analytical... [with] an encyclopedic knowledge of a dozen unconventional and assorted subjects, from door locks to horticulture to architecture to human psychology".

Breckman's description of Monk.[7]

Monk's description in the script of the pilot episode was that aside from being "a modern day Sherlock Holmes", he was "nuts".[3] This is due to his vast array of phobias, which include heights, darkness, crowds, milk and physical contact.[19][20] In addition, new phobias develop at seemingly random intervals, such as a temporary fear of blankets.[21] One of his dominant phobias is a fear of germs, Monk uses a lot of tissues to clean his hands, or touch something dirty.[22] His fear of germs also results that he can't eat food that other people have touched.[23] On the show, Monk has had two personal assistants to help him with his OCD; they also appear to have a hands-on role in organizing his consultancy work.[19] His first assistant, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), quit after several years of loyal service to her boss to return to New Jersey and remarry her ex-husband.[24] Following her departure, Monk suffered depression, but eventually began to recover with the arrival of her replacement, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard).[24] Monk's assistants usually carry a box of tissues that he asks for everytime he needs one, simply saying "wipe", which is usually after shaking someone's hand.[22] His assistants usually drive for him, although Monk claims he knows how to drive and has a drivers license.[25]

Although he is not arrogant or deliberately callous, Monk's phobias and obsessive compulsions tend to make him somewhat self-centered and insensitive to the needs of others.[26][21] Monk is fixated with symmetry,[27] this goes so far that he cuts his pancakes into similiar squares.[28] He strongly prefers familiarity and rigorous structure in his activities (he only drinks Sierra Springs water).[29] Monk also has great difficulty in standard social situations (at one point, he goes so far as to write down common small talk phrases on note cards in an attempt to successfully socialize).[30] While his obsessive attention to minute detail cripples him socially, it makes him a gifted detective and profiler.[7] He has a photographic memory,[19] and can reconstruct entire crimes based on little more than scraps of detail that seem unimportant to his colleagues.[22] His working methods differ from normal crime scene investigation methods, one of his methods, is holding his hands in front of him and looking through his fingers.[31] Shalhoub explained that Monk does this because it "isolates and cuts the crime scene into slices" and causes Monk to look at parts of the crime scene instead of the whole.[31] However, his delicate mental condition means that his ability to function can be severely impaired by a variety of factors.[32] For instance, when entering a chaotic murder scene in one episode, his first impulse is to straighten the lamps.[20] Even though Monk's mental state in the series is said to be a result of his wife's death,[22][33] he shows signs of OCD in flashbacks dating back to childhood.[34] In order to deal with his OCD and phobias, Monk visits a psychiatrist weekly.[35]

Character background

Trudy's death

Throughout the series, Monk mourns his wife Trudy (Melora Hardin/Stellina Rusich), who was killed by a car bomb he believes was meant for him on December 14, 1997.[36][22] After the event occurred, Monk developed a debilitating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).[37][31][38] One year later, the San Francisco Police Department granted him a psychological discharge.[19] Monk calls it "a temporary suspension" and hopes to be reinstated.[19] His grief over Trudy's death is intense and with him every day of his life; he has stated more than once that he is never truly happy and never expects to be truly happy ever again.[39] Since Trudy's death, Monk has been consulting with San Francisco police detectives on various cases.[22]

As the series progresses, Monk makes several discoveries in his ongoing search for the man who killed his wife.[40] He has not yet fully solved the case, although he has discovered that the car bomb was built by a man named Warrick Tennyson (Frank Collison),[41] who was hired by a six-fingered man named Frank Nunn (Courtney Gains).[40][42] In the sixth-season finale, he finally catches up with Nunn, who claims to be yet another pawn with no idea why Trudy was killed.[42] This turns out to be part of a larger plot to have Nunn set up another bombing and then frame Monk for killing him; he is shot before Monk can have him arrested or convince him to surrender the name of his employer in Trudy's murder.[42] Once Monk is cleared in Nunn's death, the police find correspondence from Nunn dating back to the era of Trudy's death.[42] There are no names discovered, but there is a reference to the person responsible, referred to as "The Judge".[42]

Childhood and family

Monk's parents were very strict and over-protective.[34] His father, Jack Monk (Dan Hedaya), abandoned the family when Monk was eight years old by going out for Chinese food and not returning.[26] Monk has an agoraphobic brother named Ambrose (John Turturro), from whom he was estranged for seven years following Trudy's death.[43] Monk states that his mother died in 1994.[44]

In the episode "Mr. Monk and the Three Pies," it is revealed that Monk was angry at his brother for never contacting him after Trudy's death.[43] When the two were reunited, Ambrose admitted he did not call Monk because he believed that he was partially responsible for the incident. Trudy was getting Ambrose cough medicine and was in the store's garage when she was killed.[43] Their father Jack, remained unseen in the series until the episode "Mr. Monk Meets His Dad."[26] Jack explained that he did not return to his family because the message in his fortune cookie read "Stand By Your Man," which he interpreted to mean that he should follow his own path.[26] Monk did not forgive his father at first, but warmed up to him while assisting him on a delivery job.[26] At the end of the episode, Jack teaches Monk how to ride a bike — something he was not there to do when Monk was a child.[26] Jack also mentioned that he has a son from another wife, named Jack Jr. (Steve Zahn).[26] Monk later meets Jack Jr. and helps to clear him of murder.[28]

Reception

Critical reception

Critical reviews of character Adrian Monk have been positive. Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times called Monk "TV's most original sleuth ever".[20] In a review of the show's pilot, Tim Goodman of The San Francisco Chronicle stated: "With his history and his sympathetic but funny 'problem,' he [Monk] becomes one of television's most likable characters and floats a show that is, to be frank, riddled with improbability and simplicity".[45] Monk is ranked number 99 on Bravo's list of The 100 Greatest Television Characters of All Time.[46]

Shalhoub's performance in the series has also been praised.[47][48] Michael Sauter of Entertainment Weekly called Shalhoub's performance "original and splendid".[49] Nancy Franklin of the The New Yorker said that Shalhoub is "brilliant at conveying the tension between Monk’s desire to conquer his disorder and his dug-in defense of his behavior".[50] Michael Abernethy of PopMatters describes Shalhoub's performance as "exceptional",[27] and Melanie McFarland of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer states that Shalhoub is a "careful and nuanced actor".[51] Alan Sepinwall of the Star-Ledger described Shalhoub as "the perfect fit" for the character.[52]

Awards

Shalhoub has earned various awards and nominations for his work in Monk. He has been nominated for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor - Comedy Series each year from 2003 to 2009,[53][54][55] winning in 2003, 2005[56] and 2006.[57] In 2003, Shalhoub won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Television Series Musical or Comedy;[58] he was nominated for the same category in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009.[59][60][61][62] He received the 2004 and the 2005 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series,[63][64] with nominations in the same category in 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2009.[65][66][67][68]
