change the hair color..easy...seriously, guy looks very similar to Brett.  Partridge's death is the ONLY one that has not been explained....we have NO reason why he was killed.  yes, we may think he is part of the stupid 'tiger tyger' group...but, WHY they would off him has not been confirmed.  In fact, nothing about his death has been spoken about or examined.  The ONLLY reason Lisbon is alive is so she can attest to the fact that he is dead.  WHY would RJ put him in a closet (still alive) for Lisbon to discover....c'mon!!!!  IT WAS PLANNED!!!
