Magistrate Kathy Crittenden accepted that Baker, best known for his role as Patrick Jane in the TV series The Mentalist, was remorseful and was unlikely to drive after drinking again.
Australian actor and director Simon Baker, center, best known for his role as Patrick Jane in the CBS drama series The Mentalist, arrives at the Mullumbimby Court House, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024, for his sentencing hearing for driving under the influence of alcohol near his rural home.
Baker acted alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in the Oscar-nominated 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada before starring as a former professional psychic who became a California Bureau of Investigation consultant in the hit series The Mentalist for eight seasons until 2015. He has worked on multiple shows and movies since, including a movie adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara And The Sun directed by Taika Waititi with an expected 2025 release.
Police reported seeing Baker's Tesla electric car driving erratically in the fashionable Byron Bay region where he lives at 2.11am on Jul 20. Baker was “very polite and cooperative” and “extremely remorseful for his actions”, Crittenden said. Baker had since completed a traffic offenders’ rehabilitation programme, the court was told.
