Simon Baker Goes Shirtless in Sydney Ahead of 'The Mentalist' Series Finale

Simon Baker shows off his surfing skills while hitting the waves at Whale Beach on Tuesday (February 17) in Sydney, Australia.

The day before, the 45-year-old actor was spotted shirtless while frolicking in the water with his wife Rebecca Rigg.

Simon‘s show The Mentalist just aired its series finale, and Executive Producer Tom Szentgyorgyi revealed what’s next for Simon’s character Patrick and – SPOILER ALERT! – his new wife Teresa (Robin Tunney).

“Jane’s building a house for his family. Lisbon will work at the FBI through her pregnancy until two weeks before she delivers, take a few months’ maternity leave, then go back to kicking ass and arresting bad guys,” Tom told Deadline.” It’s what she does. Will Jane go back to working for the FBI with her? I don’t know. I suspect he doesn’t either. As for Cho, he will certainly continue to rise. Could the Chelsea Clinton administration see an FBI Director Cho? I don’t see why not.”
