Personality type: Obsessive nature, but a loving and caring personality for those people who are close to him.
Quirks: His British accent stands out, and his humor when it comes to embarrassment detected from a colleague can be great fun for him to poke at. "Oh, now you're embarrassed. Well you have every right to be." "Cal...!" "Well she's the one making snide remarks, look at her face!"

Endearing Traits
 Great laugh and smile, and is fun to just hang out with and have a few drinks together.

 Knows when you're lying! He only points out the negatives because that's all he looks for. He rarely sees the good in a person. Doesn't respect personal space, he's always in someone's face.

*DR. CAL LIGHTMAN BACKSTORY
Dr. Cal Lightman is a world renound expert on body language, whose firm (The Lightman Group) assists local and federal law enforcement organizations in crime investigations. Although people may not trust his science, Cal loves to show off his skills in such a way to embarrass the accuser. Not much has been revealed about Cal's history, but as of now we do know that his 20's and 30's are shrouded in mystery, and there are alot of theories as to what he did. Some people say that he went to an African tribe for three months just to study their eyebrows. And that story may be true! Cal has the pictures and artifacts to prove it. In 'Depraved Heart', we learned that his mother committed suicide after telling her Doctors that she was fine, and overjoyed to see her husband and kids over the weekend. Cal obsessively watches this video, and because no one saw the sadness and shame/guilt on her face, it was Cal's idea to slow the video down, he then discovered Micro Expressions. Cal's character is based off of Dr. Paul Ekman, a notable psychologist and expert on body language and facial expressions.

"Can detect when you're lying and why." He never initially knows the why, but has to keep asking questions until he gets an answer.
