‘Minds’ taps Joe Mantegna
From the Associated Press
Joe Mantegna is joining the cast of CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” filling the gap left by Mandy Patinkin’s abrupt departure from the drama last month.
Mantegna, 59, will play retired FBI special agent David Rossi, an original member of the Behavioral Analysis Unit who took early retirement to go on lecture and book tours and has volunteered to return to the unit, CBS said.
Patinkin, 54, asked to be released from his role as FBI profiler Jason Gideon, citing creative differences.
