Mandy Patinkin uses creative differences excuse for Criminal Minds departure
Well, Mandy Patinkin - whose failure to show up last week at the Criminal Minds season premiere table read sparked widespread publicity - is leaving the show, citing creative differences. Yeah, like creative differences because Patinkin thought he was worth so much more money than CBS was willing to pay for him.
He had already been written out of the season premiere after his hissy fit led him to be a no-show last week, but now he will be completely written out of the show, without any further appearances. Instead, his exit will be explained in an upcoming fall episode. But Criminal Minds will now be getting a new character… let’s hope he’s a hottie!
And yet another example of an actor trying to play hardball with a network… and losing.
