Criminal Minds Trivia:

Fans were shocked when the star of Criminal Minds (Mandy Patinkin) just decided one day to not show up for work anymore and left the hit show! Mandy told every single cast member that he had personal reasons for ending his role on Criminal Minds. While he never came right out and said, most who know Mandy as a caring, sensitive person feel that the show was a bit more violent than he could bring himself to be associated with and he felt he had to leave. You probably won't see Mandy on the big or small screen any time soon. Producers rarely hire an actor who abandoned a starring role on a hit series.

Mandy Patinkin played another character on the series, "Dead Like Me" that had common interests with his character on Criminal Minds. They both loved art and they both were excellent cooks.

There were three episodes between the time that Patinkin left and Joe Mantegna took over as the star of Criminal Minds. For those three episodes only, Thomas Gibson was given credit as the "star" of the series.
