According to one interview I've heard, he does as little 'stunt' work as possible because it bothers his back.

Paul does a fair amount of stuff, actually. He's happy to take hits and falls when possible. I think it's be more accurate to say Paul does as much stunt work as he can while still taking care of his back.
Sidara:
As someone who occasionally suffers from a bad back, I can say that the last thing you want to do is put it out (lying in bed staring at the ceiling is really not very interesting). And the last thing a show needs is a leading man with a bad back.
I'm glad that Paul seems to know when enough is enough.
For holidays, I recommend Italy, around the Bay of Naples. I stayed in Sorrento a few years back and it was absolutely fabulous.

Robert, I'm curious about something.
How does Murphy justify hiring Harry to her superiors? Most of the cases we've seen, Harry has not really provided anything of substance to the police; the bad guy ends up "disappearing" and things still go unsolved (such as Mr. Crispy's identity and who/how he was killed). The only person that has been arrested was Nancy.
Harry seems more of a liability to the police force than a boon, at this point - he is continually a suspect in crimes (Storm Front, Soul Beneficiary, Hair of the Dog), he's harassing witnesses and rich people while claiming to be a consultant of the police, and he's a freaking wizard being consulted by a cop. Doesn't this raise brows if not ire from Murphy's superiors?
In the books, Murphy operates SI, which Harry can specifically assist, such as giving info on how to fight trolls and sorcerers and the like. But since that doesn't exist in the Show, I don't really see what substantial benefit he is to the Chicago police force.
So, what does Harry offer to the police force, since he's not helping them solve cases? Is he doing things that we don't see that would assist Murphy and thus permit her to justify the expense of a consultant to the police?

I'm guessing he must help out a lot with simpler cases - simpler for him, anyway. When he was checking out the car in Walls, all three of them (Harry, Murphy, and Kirmani) acted like it was nothing unusual for Harry to be poking around a crime scene. Kirmani was snarky about it, of course, but I figure he's one of those folks who, when proved wrong, gets even more uncooperative. :) I like Kirmani. Lot more than I expected to.
