Booked & Filmed “Criminal Minds” – AGAIN!

I am in love with the casting department for “Criminal Minds”. And I’ll tell you why…

I filmed an episode of CM about two months ago, a scene with Paget Brewster. Nearly a week before my episode was to appear, I was informed by my agent that my scene was cut from the episode. This happens frequently in this town. Some shows “over film” an episode and then they make cuts. It happens. I still get paid and I still get the credit.

However, the casting department called me in the very next week! Said they loved my work and wanted to get me back on the show. Awesome! I audition for another co-star role, but I didn’t book it. Then another two weeks goes by and I get a call from my agent: I booked “Criminal Minds”. Before I could become too confused, my agent told me that casting just called and offered me a one day, co-star role. There was no need to see me audition again. Woo hoo!

It was wonderful being back on set, meeting the other actors on the show and getting another opportunity to do what I love. Working with Joe Mantegna and Matthew Gray Gubler was a real treat. Getting a hug from Paget Brewster, when she saw me at the table read, was icing. Great crew. Great show.

So you can catch me on “Criminal Minds” on episode #101, December 9th on CBS as the coroner. I get to touch dead people.
