Criminal Minds is one of the most popular crime series ever. However, one of the main actors regrets his role and worries about the fans.
Criminal Minds will always be around. Although the genre from TV, books and movies revolves around murder and manslaughter, there are countless fans around the world from young and old. Criminal Minds is among the best known examples. However, lead actor Mandy Patinkin thinks the series is homicidal.
Criminal Minds lead actor considers the series his “biggest public mistake. “
Criminal Minds revolves around a seven-man special FBI unit that profiles perpetrators of serial killers, looking into their most gruesome acts. Patinkin played Jason Gideon, the squad’s chief, from 2005 to 2007. Years later, he revealed how much he regrets the role. Speaking to New York Magazine in 2011, he said:
“Criminal Minds was my biggest public mistake. I didn’t expect to see all those women raped and killed there, day in and day out, week after week and year after year. It destroyed my soul and personality. The effect [of the series] worries me. For many viewers, these are bedtime stories. But you shouldn’t dream about something like that. “
The extent to which Patinkin’s concerns are justified is for each fan to decide for themselves. In any case, Criminal Minds isn’t taking a break, moral damage or not. Season 16 recently came to Disney+ with three major changes. Season 17 is according to Deadline already ordered.
